I did mine in Australia. Went for a few weeks as you need a test first. Then if you are suitable they do one eye first the other eye a week later. Then of course no diving for awhile. I did cataracts and the Tri focal lenses all up cost me around AUD$15,000. Was quite cheap as A$ was crashing at the time. Just in case you ever want it done.... PS I have no idea what you would earn in Bali. Airfares and a place to stay extra lol
I know a couple of people that used a magnifying glass. I tried one but did not like the idea of carrying one around all the time.

You can get +1 to +4 lenses at Dive Sport in Sanur for about 200,000 IDR. Life saver for me

@ScubaWithTurk @Searcaigh Shall we meet here before we dive to get some?
I'm scheduled to be back in Tulamben with @Searcaigh in late April/early May. Let's dive!

I am thinking of getting a magnifying glass.
Do you have dates yet? Late April I can do. May would be next to impossible as my brother is coming to visit for two weeks starting 2 May and after two days in Amed we will travel around Bali so I finally get to see more of the island I call home.
OP
I might start my trip by mid-April, not 100% sure yet as Yanni is likely to be changing jobs and will have to cancel my visa as I am now under her sponsorship to live here.
Will let you know fairly soon.

I’ll DM you.
Definitely get the magnifying glass! Try for glass instead of plastic lens if possible. Mine even comes with a protective cover for the glass area, and I keep it attached to my gear with a smaller coil bungie.

Something like this with the hole in the handle for attaching to the bungee.
I tried an amazing mask recently and I'm considering purchase:
