Cataract surgery with multifocal or monofocal iol?
I'm a 50 years old female with right-eye cataracts problem I'm considering multifocal or monofocal IOL. I had a surgery on my right eye due the blood vessel burst and this surgery caused cataracts to my right eye. My left eye is normal and just with a mild presbyopia. After searching related website about these lens, there is no any clear clue that which is better, multi- or monofocal IOL.
Multifocal is better to both eye. Since I only have one-eye cataracts, is monofocal suggested for my case?

Thank you Dr. Vosoghi, and I read Dr. Hagan's reply already

This question has been addressed multiple times. Please refer to the older posts on this topic. You could also read the blogs posted by Dr. Hagan on this website on the topic or search for Dr. Devgan's blog on the internet. Only a surgeon who examines your eyes could tell you if you are a candidate for a specialty lens. As a general rule though, if you have had other eye problems in that eye in the past (such as a burst blood vessel), you may not be a good candidate for a multifocal lens.
