I had cataract surgery a year and a half ago. I am very happy with the 
outcome. I pondered the question you are asking, and ended up going with 
one eye set at reading distance and the other at about 15 feet. I have 
worn glasses for 65 years and figured I could continue to put glasses on 
and take them off as needed.

The eye knob on my Q2 has no problem adjusting to my reading-distance 
eye. That lets me see the screen or the controls if I prefer. Without 
glasses.
