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.
Thanks for your reply. I still haven't decided what to do. Btw I noticed you have lived in Mt Clemens. My son did his internship at the hospital there.
