Hope you get lots of answers. My cataract evaluation a couple of weeks ago, Dr Jay Singleton said that multifocals (ReSTOR and Tecnis) had proven to be, in his practice, underwhelming in patient satisfaction. After testing he recommended (for my eyes) either toric lenses which would eliminate my astigmatism (moderate, under 1.5 D), provide good distance, but probably require light cheaters for intermediate and reading. Or the Crystalens toric lens (Trulign) which would proved good distance and intermediate, a 50/50 probability of not needing glasses for reading. With astigmatism he prefers laser precision for best results. I have a 2nd opinion evaluation scheduled for next Thursday, with another surgeon who has implanted all of the lens options. We shall see.
