I too had cataract and lens replacement surgery, completed in April. I had worn glasses since the 3rd grade.

A few things to remember about those replacement lenses.

I got the deluxe lenses for near, mid-range, and far. Extremely happy. Still need help, though, in low light conditions. Bright lighting helps a lot for close up work.

At 1 month after surgery was completed for both eyes, I was given a corrected vision for close-up. +0.25. At the 4 month follow-up, it was changed to +1.0. I keep a pair of the latter around if conditions warrant it.

Yes, your eyes will change as the eyes heal for a few months.

In addition to those Dollar Store and Amazon options, a good optical shop (Sam's, Costco, or even the shop your opthalmologist/optometrist might have).

Also check out Zenni on the internet for low cost options.

Finally, it will take several weeks until you finally realize there aren't any glasses you need to take off before your nap or going to sleep at night. 😉
