Yes and no: Multifocal lens implants always have a small degree of soft focus to them, precisely because part of the image from distance and part of the image from near overlap on the focal point in the retina. The brain, however, is the greatest image processor on the planet and will learn, or nero-adapt, to make the clearest image possible out of what it has to work with. Yes, after about 6 months, better.

Multifocal IOL MIOL: Multifocal Intraocular Lenses have many advantages: they improve the reading, distance, & intermediate vision in the vast majority of patients (assuming macula, optic nerve, brain are functioning normally). Halos & glare can be biggest issue after MIOLs & these usually improve with time. Vision can improve also after surgery as eye/cornea heals.
