Interesting. Some others I know don’t need bifocals after the surgery.

I've never understood how some people can manage without bifocals. As I
understand it, the replacement lens is fixed focus, so you're going to need
glasses either for distance or for reading. Unless when they do both eyes,
they set one for reading and the other for distance, but that would take a
lot of brain-training for the brain to learn to disregard the image from
whichever eye was out of focus.
