Personally I would opt for plano in my distance-dominant eye.... the one you would shoot a gun or camera with.... and -1.00 to -1.50 in the fellow eye to retain reading vision.

Exceptionally important for anyone approaching their mid 40's.

Some residual myopia has its benefits. Youngunner's can't relate because they have no clue what presbyopia is all about. -1.25 still leaves most folks at about a 20/40 level of uncorrected distance vision .... enough to pass a driver's test... enough to navigate a powerboat.... and still read this forum, tie leaders, or wrap a rod. Versatility is a virtue when it comes to the eyes. You can buy a dozen precise specialty rods designed exactly for every technique in the book, or you could choose a couple versatile ones that can capably cover a variety of applications that you are most likely to encounter on a day to day basis. In the eye world, mother nature dictates that your choice of rods is limited to TWO tops. Choose wisely!

Remember, it's not always about 20/20 as much as it is about 20/happy. For those rare unique tasks where your new post-LASIK vision may still be suboptimal, it ain't gonna kill ya to occasionally reach for your specs.
