In this video from Dr. Osher's Video Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Dr. Barrett describes the refractive limitations of multifocal and accommodative IOLs, and instead proposes modified monovision--emmetopia for distance in one eye, myopic defocus for near vision in the other eye--to gain spectacle independence.
