The monofocal lens has one point of focus which is usually set for your distance vision but you would be blurred for near vision. In many cases, one eye can be set for a distance focus and the other eye for a near focus (so called "monovision") to reduce the need for reading glasses. This type of lens is usually covered by your health insurance.

An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens for the eye. It replaces the eye’s natural lens that is removed during cataract surgery. Several types of IOLs are available.
Monofocal IOLs offer spherical correction for a single distance and are many ophthalmologists’ first choice because of their superior image clarity and minimal visual aberrations, said Kendall E. Donaldson, MD, MS, at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Plantation, Florida.
People who want less dependence on eyeglasses after cataract surgery may want to consider presbyopia-correcting IOLs, which offer different focusing powers within the same lens.
