I had cataract surgery about one year ago. Prior to surgery I needed glasses for longer distances (e.g. driving) but not for near objects like the computer screen or newspapers. I was not a candidate for the panoptix lenses for reasons not related to cataracts. Post surgery I have 20/20 vision for distance so no glasses. But for the computer screen I now need 1 diopter glasses and for newspapers or books I need 2.5 diopters, so two pairs of cheap drugstore glasses. This is livable, except when I have to work with a piece of paper and the computer at the same time. Switching glasses back and forth is a PITA. I got a set of bifocals but can't seem to get used to them. Sometimes I'll even scan the sheets of paper so I can also display them up on the screen.
