Its a multi-focal lens. My optometrist and another friend both have them. It splits the incoming light and you need to focus with your attention, not mechanically, which is interesting. The downside my friend reports is that reading requires a very bright light because not all of the light is falling on your retina.

I just got an implant in one eye a month ago. I chose single-focus at distance. I would rather deal with reading glasses than the other oddities, but I did consider the option.

BTW the implant surgery was quick and simple and life is much better afterwards. Recommend.
