I've just entered the "post cataract surgery" world.

Results were good for distance vision. I can't bring anything close to see anymore, focusing just doesn't work.

I don't do a lot of precision work like you all do, but right now threading a needle would be impossible. Reading glasses and a large monitor let me type, but I can't get smaller yet.

Before I had it done I was researching digital microscopes, but now I realize it doesn't matter how big something is on a screen if I can't focus on the screen.

How have you solved this? Some of you must be up around my age, perhaps even past it g

I have bifocals. The main lens has almost no correction,
(the surgeon got the new lens almost right.) but
the bifocal part is set right for reading. Then I have several
pairs of drug store reading glasses for other uses. Since my
computer screen is further than reading distance I have a pair
for that. I have large personal library and find that I can
see better when scanning the shelves with still another pair.

For close work I have a pair of 10X binocular magnifiers.
That is good for checking fine print.
