Cataract surgery for patient with AMD

Are there any special considerations for doing cataract surgery on a patient who has AMD (wet in one eye, dry in the other)?  It seems one should stay with the single vision lens rather than Restor, Rezoom, or Crystalens.  Should one get a second opinion from a major eye center like Kellogg at U of Michigan before proceeding?

Stay away from multifocal IOLs.

Thanks for comment about multifocal IOLs.  But do you have a feeling about need for a second opinion?  Are there really any new techniques other than the lenses?  I'm quite confident in the doctor who would do the surgery but it has been suggested by our G.P. doctor that a second opinion could be good because of "new techniques."
