Cataract Surgery and Choice Of Lens

Hi Everyone,
Just seeking opinions on which lens to get for my forthcoming surgery on my left eye. The Doctor says I have a choice of a long distance lens and a close distance lens - he doubts I'd like bifocal, and thinks the long distance one would be better for me. Possibly because I told him I like looking at stars.

So, a long distance lens would be good for driving and I wouldn't have to wear glasses. But it occurs to me that a close distance lens would mean not having to wear glasses when reading a book, computer screen, my phone, reading a star atlas at a telescope or just walking around on rough ground.

For any of you who've had the operation, what did you choose, and did you feel you made the right choice? I'd greatly appreciate any insight you can offer. And also - how it affected you at the telescope?
Regards,
Renato
