Best lens after cataract removal

It is very difficult to make a decision on choosing a lens after cataract removal.  It seems most have different opinions.  I am ready for the procedure, but can't make a decision on a lens.  Is there a best avenue here?  Who do I listen to, where to get the best info.
Thanks,
Joe

Chosing the surgeon is more important than the IOL. That said if I were having cataract surgery I would chose the tecnis aspheric IOL or the Alcon aspheric IOL both are monofocal.

according to your other post you don't have astigmatism, and you don't seem to like the idea of monofocal. I have been happy so far with the Crystalens implant, I can see everything very well except small print and text on the computer screen. It cost $2000 extra though. Dr Hagen does not recommend ReZoom. The other choice in terms of multifocal would be ReStor. I chose Crystalens because I read more complaints about ReStor, there seemed to be a higher incidence of glare, halos, double vision and other issues.
