Multifocal IOL?

My opthamalogist mentioned multifocal lenses as a discussion I should have with the surgeon. My optician (eye glass dispenser) says that he has heard some negative reports from customers with multifocal lenses.

My eyes with glasses test at 20/40. I have astigmatism (mild, I think). I have worn glasses for over 50 years since my young teens and I wouldn't mind being able to go without some of the time. But good problem-free vision is primary. Thank you!

    I just read this online - "Depending upon the size of your pupils you may see linear halos at night, which appear as thin circles within a light source. These halos are different from, and much less problematic than those caused by cataracts."

    I don't see halos now with my moderate cataracts. Is it possible that this is a good indicator of problems with multifocal?
