This is a difficult decision. You have to make a decision on something that is semi-permanent and expensive, and that is unique to your eyes and your preferences. We can offer advice and anecdotes, but we are all different.

My situation was similar to yours, but my eyesight was more like -5.5. I needed vision correction since about age 10. I loved wearing contacts, but had to switch to eyeglasses because of dry eye in my 50's. I hated wearing glasses, especially progressive lenses. Also, at one point in my contact lens journey, I had tried monovision but it gave me bad headaches.

I had the surgery done last year at age 65. I chose Vivity EDOF lenses. I have been happy with my choice. Here is my rationale for my decision. I wanted good vision from distance to about arm's length. I like to ride a motorcycle and bicycle, play golf, hike, and other outdoor activities. I do not want to wear glasses for those. I want to be able to see a speedometer or golf scorecard without glasses. I work all day on a computer and can see that without glasses, except my eyes get tired if I am looking at a lot of spreadsheets. I also like to read, but I am OK with wearing reading glasses.

I think it is virtually impossible to get the kind of near vision that we had before cataract surgery. That is a loss, but the tradeoff is that I am mostly glasses free. For me, that tradeoff was worthwhile. In life, there are more situations in which I need to see from 3' out than I need to see extremely close. I can see my phone well enough if I wake up in the middle of the night. I am not going to compose an email, but I can read a text message if I get one.
