If one eye needs it you get mono-vision and choose between near or
far. If both eyes need it, you have a choice of two out of three:
near, far, inbetween. I would have gone for near and far and worn
glasses at the computer.

Frankly, I don't think you'd put off cataract surgery unless you're
scared of the procedure. Most people these days know someone who has
gone through it recently and understand it's not a big deal anymore.
You don't have to be blind or even near blind to have the surgery. It
only needs to impair your vision (which they measure when you read the
eye chart) and you need to be bothered enough by it to request
surgery.

Cataracts are not that predictable. Eye care professionals will not
guess in terms of years or months how long the second eye may take to
be operable.
