I recently (November) had cataract surgery in my right eye, I'm not eligible for the monovision technique as I lost central vision in my left eye several years ago from AMD, so I opted for a very expensive lens called Crystalens by Bausch and Lomb (they also have a version for astigmatism called TRULIGN). The Crystalens is referred to as being "accommodating" which means that it has a little hinge inside that changes the focal length based on the tension of my ciliary muscle to provide correction at near, intermediate and far distances.
That's all very good in theory, but in practice it works pretty well at far and intermediate distances, but not so much at near distance. I now need to use reading glasses but not distance or computer glasses. Don't get me wrong, from reading all the reviews and patient surveys that’s pretty much what I expected and is a vast improvement from being absolutely depended on spectacles for the past sixty years.
