Reading glasses

I had cataract surgery in both eyes a few months ago. I was literally going blind. I now have 20/13 vision in both eyes. It was a true miracle. The drawback to monofocal replacement lens is seeing detail up close. I can read this computer screen clear as a bell from 2 ft. At one foot, letters are fuzzy and starting to double. I wear 1.25 reading glasses at those short distance and everything pops back in. Not a bad trade-off. Eyesight was PERFECT until I hit 40.
