I went with Trulign, which is the toric version of the Crystalens.
Had my surgery last September, and my vision is GREAT at all distances (close, intermediate, & distant)!
I had the laser assisted surgery and the Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) System. Our of pocket was about $2250 for each eye.
If I'm reading a lot in the evening, I will sometimes use 1.25 readers, but normally I don't even carry reading glasses anymore.
Everyone's eyes are different, but for me the Crystalens worked well.
I went to 2 different surgeons (1st & 2nd opinion) and both said they would no longer recommend any multifocal lens due to problems their patients had had.
