I chose the non-bifocal lens because three people I know got them and wish they hadn't--have to have good light in order to read close up, and that doesn't work in places like restaurants and church. They still have to wear reading glasses in many situations. These three people had them done in Michigan, but not by the same surgeon, and I don't know if they are the same brand. Also, this was five years ago. Improvements may have been made by now.

My "normal" lens (done also in MI, 2012--no correction) are crystal clear. I still have to wear glasses or contacts for distance but have no trouble reading things up close.
