hmmmmm - I'd search up on how effective over the long run short distance correction is. I don't know the answer, but here's what comes to mind for me.

Near sightedness is usually caused by your eyeball not being perfectly formed and therefore not focusing directly on your retina as it should, while problems with short distance generally come with age and are related to your eye losing it's elasticity and therefore it's ability to focus closer.

Correcting the shape of your eyeball should, I would think, pretty permanently correct your far vision, but does correcting for near vision last? or will your eye continue to lose elasticity and eventually you'll be back to needing readers? If that is the case I'd probably go with the distance correction.
