I would think that having glasses for distance really means always wearing glasses to see TV or anything more than a few feet away. Whereas farsightedness means only putting on glasses when you want to read or sew etc.

Having both surgeries at the same time is lessening chances of something going wrong since in essence you are eliminating one surgery ( the anesthesia and chance of infection) what your doctor wants to do is provide drainage so fluid doesn't build up behind your eye from. The glaucoma. My father on law had it and said he was glad he did it. But his glaucoma was really bad by then.

I know how you feel about having only one good eye, but doc screw up aren't plentiful , the risk comes from the anesthesia and chance of infection. So combining both into one lessens your chances of those.
