Usually, yes. But it depends on how they do your surgery. There is something called a “multifocal“ intraocular lens where you can read both distance and near, and sometimes they correct one eye for distance and one for near (monovision). The biggest thing is you won’t be able to “focus“ your eyes to different positions with an intraocular lens the way you can with your own lens.
You will need reading glasses after surgery unless you chose an implanted lens that includes near vision. Talk to your surgeon to make sure you know exactly what will be in focus without glasses on after surgery.
Most likely you will.

Yes you may need reading glasses. Discuss this with your doctor.
