Is the AcrySof MA60AC IOL a multifocal lens?

Is the AcrySof MA60AC IOL a multifocal lens?

I read that Dr. Hagan said a multifocal lens can cause double-vision. I already had double vision when my cataracts progressed to the point where I needed surgery. I had an AcrySof MA60AC IOL implanted in my one eye, and will have cataract surgery in the other. First—is the AcrySof MA60AC IOL a multifocal lens? My surgeon didn't discuss lenses with me before—or after—surgery. If being able to see distances as well as read small print (with only the operated-on eye open) means I have a multifocal lens, then I have one.

Even though my ophthalmologist told me my double vision was brought-out by the cataracts (it was compensated for previously by my brain), can I not look forward to no longer having double vision when I have cataract surgery in my other eye with implantation of another AcrySof MA60AC IOL?

Thank you so much.
