I opted for a Crystalens by Bausch & Lomb. It is an accommodating lens that is a monofocal lens that is moved by the eye muscle in response to the distance, intermediate or near vision zones.
Since my left central vision had been destroyed by AMD, I only needed one intraocular lens for my right eye. Crystalens, at the time cost $3K above my insurance coverage, so it was a bit of a gamble as to whether it would work. My general experience is; save your money, if they work at all it is only minimally. And I'm still dependent on spectacles.
To be fair, my visual aberration is astigmatism, which was not completely correctable with Lasik, but even so I still see much more clearly with progressive lenses in front of my eyes. And since I've worn glasses for nearly seventy years not much has changed except my wallet is $3K thinner.
