I am planning surgery for both eyes. Should I opt for multifocal lenses in both eyes, or one multifocal and one monofocal? How do patients decide between cost, visual outcomes, and lifestyle needs?

Many patients choose multifocal lenses in both eyes for consistent vision at all distances, but some opt for a hybrid approach to balance cost and adaptation. The decision depends on daily activities, night driving, reading habits, and financial considerations. Surgeons discuss expectations thoroughly, and most patients find bilateral multifocal implantation offers the best long-term convenience and independence.
