The surgeon I was dealing with who had done some previous surgery on me, and would have done the cataract surgery if I had selected the hard single focus lens referred me to another surgeon who had developed the procedure for the multi focus lens. It wasn't covered by insurance so I had to pay out of pocket but I have no regrets, I have near perfect vision both reading and distance without glasses for the first time since I was 12 years old (68 now). My prescription was at the extreme range of what was available in the lens I chose, I was very shortsighted. So do some research on the lens and ensure the surgeon you select has experience with that lens.
