So I still have glasses to correct nearsightedness (in both eyes - although less severe in the eye with the implanted lens), and would need one bifocal lens if I wanted near-vision correction. That gets complicated, so I'm happy with how it is (for now).
If you do both eyes, you may need reading glasses (or even bifocals, if you end up with some nearsightedness), although they do now have some multi-focal lens implants.
