Hi DMcD, thanks for the comments. However, as stated in the first sentence of my original post, I already have bifocal sunglasses, and they work very well. I am always acutely aware of the fact that should I lose them, break them, drop them in the drink, etc. etc. I am up for an expensive replacement and a long wait for same. The conversation with my friend re laser surgery prompted me to investigate contact lenses as my thinking was that perhaps I could wear multifocal contacts (or even bifocal contacts) and use off the shelf sunglasses when flying, driving and fishing. Thus should any of the afore mentioned misfortunes occur, I could simply buy/borrow/beg/steal another set of sunglasses at short notice.
I have an appointment with a local optometrist who is a member of the Cornea and Contact lens Society of Australia so maybe they can assess my vision and come up with a suitable product, we will see. As far as laser surgery goes, the option most suitable for me (monovision) is apparently not suitable for pilots as it reduces depth perception so I have ruled that out. Regards, Bernie.
