Need advice on contact lens

I had lasik 20 years ago. I still need readers but I can put drops into my eyes at any time and with my allergies and that I love to play golf, that was a no brainer.
I have never tried bifocals in contacts. My vision isn’t too bad, just need a little help in bringing things into crispness and clarity at distances. The contacts did that fabulously, however, a few years ago, I started having difficulty reading and seeing things close. So my eye doctor suggested only wearing one contact, in my right eye, that is the eye I use for sighting down the barrel and shooting. Now I only wear one contact in my right eye and don’t wear one in my left. I still see good at distances and it helped with my up close vision.....but still need readers from time to time.
Just another option to consider if your far vision isn’t too bad.

How is your depth perception? They can do that with lasik but it is not permanent from what I understand.
Decent but not great. I assumed most of the drop off was due to aging.
I should say to roadtrash, regardless of what you do, consult your eye doctor.
As a welder my eyes are very crucial to my job & my ability to afford my high class crack whores that I love ...
My depth perception is good & my last visit to eye doc said all is healthy just getting old eyes fast do to welding , I thought about lasick but it's not permanent for this ..but contacts can be upgraded any time ....just looking for anyone who has tried it

I can still see far away it's that crucial 18 to 24 inches that I need want & dream of having back ..always had perfect 20/20 till 36 now at 46 ..im at 175...
I have bifocal contacts. One eye (left eye) is set for distance and my right eye (for reading). It takes a little getting used to but works fine for me.
My dr gave me a 2-week trial with them before I had to buy a bunch...which I use dailies as I sometimes just stick with glasses or nothing if my allergies are kicking up.

No, it actually helps my depth perception. I originally got them for playing men’s basketball.
The only issue I have with contacts is they tend to make my eyes feel tired after a few hours but that could be just me.

I appreciate the feedback , I'm going to find a eye dr here in Mechanicsburg pa & see what he says ...i really want to try them , if for nothing else just being out & able to read a menu. Lol...im tired of forgetting my glasses & just ordering the special with no mayo...
Hopefully, you are not a drinker. It is rather difficult to put those things in on bloodshot eyes. Wife had co-teacher associate who had - one eye distance and other bifocal. Said she never really had problem with adjusting to lens, just train yourself to look out of the appropriate eye.
I also had trouble with sand traps. You have to pop them out, and lick a couple times and reinsert.
