It is not a one size fits all situation. Both lifestyle and physical eye conditions need to be considered.
My suggestion is do a few internet searches as there is a lot of information out there.
Recently I was going with a multifocal at the recommendation of my ophthalmologist who does not do surgeries. My surgeon thought otherwise and I went with a monofocal, a new one (Tecnis Eyhance DIB00 by J&J) which provides a little depth of focus. He gave me a questionnaire to fill out and based his recommendation on my needs and desires. So far so good for me. It has been eight days. On my first post op a day after surgery my eye tested 20-20. I had worn glasses since age seven due to severe myopia in that eye so great distance vision was at the top of my list. The surgeon told me that a multifocal would cause loss of contrast. I had worn glasses all my life so I told him I wanted the best possible vision even if I had to wear glasses and that distance vision was important to me.
I also paid an extra $100 for an ORA (laser) and $1,000 for the FS laser to reduce astigmatism.
