Like dissapointed66 I too had one Restor implanted and then explanted due to glare halos ghositng poor quality vision etc in addition to the doctor putting in the wrong prescription. I went with a torric monofocal set for intermediate and came out about -.25. I am very pleased with the vision which seems to have improved over the last l 1/2 years since my explant. I don't think you can go wrong with a monofocal lens. I can't say the same for the technis. I think the best premium lenses now seem to be the accomodating ones like crystalens.
Good luck and do take you time and seek several expert opinions before making a final decision. If you do go the premium lens route only go to a surgeon who is highly experienced and has done many many surgeries with the type of lens he/she is recommending.

I have no experience with the tecnis multifocal lens, but as far as I am concerned, stay away from multifocal lenses. I have the Tecnis monofocal lenses. They are terrific. I only need glasses for small print. As for as night driving, the are the best, no glare or starbursts. My night vision is excellent. I Originally had the Restor multifocal put in my left eye, and it was a disaster. Had it explanted for the Tecnis monofocal set for distance. One eye a little stronger. Both eyes are now done and I am extremelly happy.
Talk to you eye care professional as to what is important to you and he/she will discuss what is best for you. Again, I would stay away from Multifocals.
Good luck.

For night driving a multifocal lens could have issues with glare and halos. There is no way to predict if you would or would not have problems. A monofocal, aspheric lens would provide the most crisp night driving experience, in general. Remember with any lens you choose, you may still require glasses to some degree.
