You'll always need glasses for the close up stuff, unless...I saw where my ophthalmologist is doing a cataract procedure that I never heard of. (I have the small ones that don't need attention yet, as well) He removes the lens, breaks up the cataracts, sucks them out, and replaces the lens with a corrected crystal lens. That, as I understand it, can be bifocal. I can't begin to imagine the cost. My insurance won't even cover the dry eye meds or procedures that help.
My late Mom had that done by her eye ophthalmologist in his Moore office. Couldn't get all the pieces out. We had to take her to an eye surgeon at Integris Baptist to have emergency eye surgery. Her ins pd for some of it. It wasn't cheap.
