Which multofocal lens is best, Tecnis or Restore?

[vmk]

Having cataract surgery. I have gone back and forth with the eye doctor between the Restore and the Tecnis multifocal  lens. Worried about halos, and sharpness of vision at all distances.

My first doctor installed the ReSTOR multifocul lense...causing a bad blurring. I went to a secord doctor and he said that he never implants multifocal lenses because of the too common problems.  I now have blurry vision in my ReSTOR lens eye that cannot be corrected with spectacles. YAG was tried, unsuccessfully. I would never consider multifocal lenses. I opted to not have the second lense done.

I would give anything if I had not had a multifocal lens implanted.  But it's too late now and it appears that I'm not in the 80%-90% who have a good outcome. At this point, my vision is worse in the eye with the implanted lens and I'm out quite a bit of money trying corrective (salvage) strategies.  Had I to do it over, I'd go with the more tried-and-true monofocal lenses or stay with conventional eyeglasses.  

I can live with the halo effect of a multifocal lens but I can no longer read or use the computer with the implanted eye due to ghosting/blurring. I'm still looking for a solution and if I find one that works for me, I'll post it here.

Live and learn...I gambled and, so far, have lost.

Many who use our surgery center seen to prefer the Tecnis.  I do not like multifocal and use Crystalens.  Use the search function.

I have the reStor D1, and love it--beautiful vision near and far,day and night.  HOWEVER, there is a catch:  You have to have the right eyes for this lens.

My surgeon described me as an excellent candidate for these reasons:

I had always been 'far sighted,' with a short eyeball front to back.

I had almost no astigmatism.

My pupils are relatively small.

My retinas were healthy.

My expectations were modest:  I was OK with the idea of seeing glasses after the surgery--even though it turned out not to be necessary.

Look for a surgeon who is thoughtful.

According to expirements were made with Alcon,Tecnis and other multifocal lens of other vendor that i dont remember right now the best lens for night vision,that is,that whose caused least visual night aberrations was Acrysof IQ Restor.but as doctors say,the best lens for visual night is still the monofocal.
