Everyone is different.

If you want to be involved in the decisions of what type of IOL, and single vision or mono/blended vision, you will need to obtain your manifest refraction and visual acuity information - and learn what it means.

You will need to find a competent, well-respected surgeon/clinic you trust to provide care - they will decide based on your stated desire and needs.
