Your local opthamologist should be your first source of information. Beyond that, search this board for the major options: monofocal, toric (only if you have astigmatism), and if you are in the USA: Restor and Crystalens.

No lens is perfect. Each has strengths and weaknesses. You have to look at your own activities and lifestyle, along with your tolerance for certain risks, plus consider the significant costs of "premium" lenses.
