I also used St. Lukes and asked about various lens options. In my case it was a nonstarter, I need a prism and I have astigmatism so none of the higher cost lens were suitable. I got the standard lens, corrected for distance, and I use glasses for reading as well as the previous mentioned corrections. I will note that I have worn glasses since age 11, so continuing the need for glasses was not a concern.
St. Lukes did a fantastic job, 2+ years, and I still have 20/20 vision without my glasses for distance (I do see 2 of things due to the lack of a prism), buy very happy with the results.
