I wear glasses unless I'm sitting or laying in a positon that allows me to hold the reader closer up, and I also need to use larger fonts. I use from 175% to 225% of the original font size because I also have huge floaters that block my vision.
When I had cataract surgery 5 years ago I wanted both eyes for close since I read and us the computer a lot. Unfortunately when the first eye was done I found I could only see from 14 to 18 inches clearly so I had the other eye done for distance, but that was over corrected too so I now wear glasses that correct both my distance and close for mono vision. The only problem is that I really need trifocals so my midrange vision isn't clear.
Ok, pity party is now over. I found mono vision pretty easy to get used to, and it's a lot better than using bifocals for reading - it's great to be able to see a whole page at a time without constantly moving my head and I can look up and see distance too.
