yes you can choose which type of lens focal length you want, I have been nearsighted all my life, and I asked for the lens for distance.
so now I can see clearly from 8 inches to infinity .

if I chose the middle one, then I would need to wear bi-focals. and if I chose the other for close up vision, then I would need glasses for distance.

there is a special lense that does cover all distance, close and distance, but that one is very expensive, and medicare would not pay for it.

the lenses I got are the newest and latest,

and no need for glasses any more.

today was the very first time in my life I could see anything in the eye test for the drivers license without glasses, I just had to do it to experience it. it was a great feeling.
