Can anyone that has had those kind of lenses put in after cataract surgery tell me how you like them and can you see the dashboard when you are driving?
I now have 20/20 vision which is wonderful after 50+ years of being nearsighted. Now I can’t see close up - at all (expected).
You have to wait a month before you can get prescription glasses.

I will get prescription readers with plain glass on top so I can see far without removing the readers.
Also plan on getting prescription sunglasses with the reading prescription.

So far I can see the dashboard of my car.
I’m an avid reader so the readers are important.

Ended up getting the half glasses from Amazon.
