Default vision enhancement for close work

That's exactly what they do.

My 80 year old mom didn't even need glasses anymore (except
for reading) when she had hers done.


That's because it's fixed lens.
Typically, you get 20/20 vision for everything from 24" away
from your face outward.
But because it's a fixed lens, you need reading glasses for
anything closer than 24"

I had cataract surgery in my right eye last August. All I can
say about that is "Oh **** me, I can see again." But I need to
wear reading glasses for the computer and, well, reading. This
Includes working on the bench.
