    Whether one chooses to have a monofocal lens set for best vision at reading at 16-18 inches or for the best vision at distance does not make much difference in the density, the thickness, or the suggested design of an IOL.

    The single-piece IOLs are the most commonly used IOLs, with the older-design 3-piece IOLs being used for special situations(such as an issue with the capsule for installing the one-piece IOL)
