This week I had cataract surgery on right eye and will have it on the left eye in 2 weeks. I am going with what is called mini-monovision. That technique is set one eye for near vision and the other for distance. This is applicable for us old farts who have presbyopia. That condition is where the lens in your eye gets old and stop flexing (accommodating) when the ciliary muscle ring in your eye ties to get the lens to flex to better focus. From what I have read and seen, there are accommodating replacement lens; however, they do not have the range of our original lens. My doctor does not recommend them. Hence the mini-monovision approach.
The doctor said normally the dominate eye (for most folks the right eye) is usually set to far vision. But as a photographer I want the right eye to see close for the camera controls, the LCD screen, and EVF. I can see the LCD clearly from around 1' away and just adjusted the EVL diopter for very clear views of it.
My point is think about how you will operate a camera once it is time for glasses/contacts, with presbyopia correction, and cataract correction (which usually means surgery). Remember that if you live long enough, you will likely have to deal with all those types of vision correction.....while enjoying photography.
