I happen to be an eye surgeon and also a collector of English guns 1850 - 1910, mostly damascus and especially from my home town of York i.e. Horsley. If I was having cataract surgery myself I would go for the best quality of vision and have monofocal lenses set at -0.25 in my dominant eye and -0.75 in the non dominant (whats known as mini-mono vision). There is an argument to use one of the newer Extended depth of focus lenses in the non dominant eye, as these are the least worst in terms of side effects of multifocals.
If you have astigmatism of more than 1.5 diopters then think about a toric monofocal lens there are v few issues with these if properly inserted.
Safe surgery is the most important issue - its not a trivial procedure and hope all goes well!
