Many good choices: All implants are potentially good. What matters most is correcting your vision to meet your expectations. Monofocal (one focus), toric (astigmatism correcitng monofocals) and multifocal/accommodating (distance and near vision correcting) lenses may all be good options for you. Speak with your surgeon about your needs, and be sure to choose what best suits you.
