The star burst thing sounds like a total pain in the tits if you want to drive at night, which even down south here at 56°N is about 16 hours of the day at this time of year.
I find I need different glasses for different things but I'm very very long-sighted - I can see more than well enough to drive, and indeed can see the guy wires on radio towers a few miles either side of the road I drive on most days to get to work, and can see what the dude in front is watching on his phone instead of the road, but can't really see the instrument panel except as a big green blob with a vague suggestion of pointers in it. No matter, as long as nothing is lit up red.
I wear different glasses for reading to using the computer or watching TV, basically to pull the range of focus I have in to about half a metre to a metre, or a metre to a couple of metres, and I have a couple of pairs of prescription safety glasses which fit under the visor of my climbing helmet, which is handy for work.
For welding and such, I just keep some cheap shitty "pound shop" reading glasses that are "close enough" and that I don't care if they get wrecked in the workshop, which again fit under my welding mask or grinder shield.
I do kind of wonder how well people who have had LASIK can deal with a very very wide range of focal lengths.
