I had the Toric lense upgrade to correct astigmatism in my right eye. My out of pocket was $1050 as Medicare does not cover the Toric lense.
I had the right eye set for distance and the left eye for close.
A week after the last eye was done I tested 20-20 capable. That was 3 years ago and I still have no need for reading glasses.

My research before deciding to go mono and with the Toric lense confirmed for me that the much touted upgraded bi focal type lenses had significantly less (SIGNIFICANT ) than 50% satisfaction and users relying on glasses....not just readers..........hence my decision........and 100% satisfaction.
