Has anyone had cataract surgery (not necessarily in TV) and had either the Crystalens or Toric Lens implanted?

I was told by my Dr. that 'most' people don't need glasses after having the Crystalens implanted, but the results, in my case, were very disappointing as I still distance and reading correction. Because of that my other eye was implanted with the Toric lens and my Dr. told me that 'most' people don't need glasses for distance, but I would still need reading correction. Well, that didn't work either and I'm back to progressives for both eyes.

These lens require an additional charge ($2,000 for the Crystalens and $1000 for the Toric Lens), but since I am fairly young to need cataract surgery (62) the idea of not wearing glasses was attractive enough to justify the cost.

I'd like to know if anyone else has had experience with these lenses?
