There are LASIK and RF procedures that mwy give you some short term relief, but in the long run, it is lot of money to spend, for a correction that is not complete, and will seem to fade as your presbyopia worsens naturally with age.=20 If you really want a surgical solution, at this point, when your cataracts are ready, you can get an EDOF or Multifocal implant, which will give you decent vision at most distances.
