Progress for both of you, then, good!

So happy that Richard’s foot is healing! I’ve worn glasses since kindergarten and contacts since age 13, in hopes of slowing down the loss of my distance vision. I had to have cataract surgery 5 years ago to keep my driver’s license. Contacts could no longer correct my vision to the minimum 20/40. I chose distance. I can finally see details in my fruit trees from my kitchen window. I don’t need glasses to drive, just regular sunglasses. I use OTC reading glasses for reading and any close up work. I splurged on CraftOptics magnifying glasses with a tiny light for the occasional really close-up work, as I gave up the close-up vision I used to have when I’d take out my contacts. Easy trade, I love not needing to wear glasses for driving, walks, general cleaning, etc. My mom chose mid-range, but it ended up being a very limited field of clarity. She still needs to wear bifocal glasses. Wishing you a world of clear vision.

personal opinion. Go for single focus. Both eyes the same. As someone who has been wearing glasses since age 2-3, wearing glasses isn’t an issue. What I didn’t want was something IN MY EYE that could possibly fail. Multi-focal isn’t 100%. And if it doesn’t work, you get to have surgery again.
I went for distance vision in both eyes. In a pinch, I can now drive without glasses. But I don’t have a problem with correction for a minor astigmatism nor near vision correction. I went for this choice because there isn’t just ONE near vision that I need. There is stitching, spinning, knitting, computers, + reading. All of which are NOT the exact same distance from my eyes. Which means glasses still required.
Two years out now and still delighted with my decision. And colors are back (amazing what white looks like when it isn’t yellowed by an aging lens)
