I went the other way, standard lens (low cost), the reason, I have both astigmatism and I need a prism. I was advised that I would probably still need glasses even with the very expensive lens. On a side note I have been wearing glasses since age 10.
Results: Went to St. Lukes, Dr. Ireland and the results are FANTASTIC, colors especially blues are much brighter, I have 20/20 in both eyes for distance (but see 2 images without glasses). I had glasses made and am very happy with the results, I highly recommend St. Lukes .
Bottom-line talk to your optometrist as well as the surgeon so you get the best possible results.
