If your goal is to eliminate glasses make sure you have a long conversation with the surgeon. Your eyes tend to change, the lens will not. In my case (cataract surgery) there was no way any available lens would correct for a needed prism or astigmatism, I went with standard lens and stayed with glasses. If you are looking at multifocal, do additional research as there have been reports of Halos and other artifacts from these, as well as reports of very successful results.
