I tend to agree with most of that, but transitions is ok for the
pseudophakic eye, as their IOLs have no color at all and thus transmit
more visible light than the normal human lens. It's nice to have built
in UV and some sunlight reduction with IOLs. I'd consider transitions
plus a clip.

First, thank you both for your replies
Now, my pseudophakic eyes, have IOLs which I understand to provide
some filter: They are Alcon AcrySof UV w/ blue light filter, model
SN60WF. However, I do really miss the transitions which I had worn
all my later life up until the surgery 12/5. I'm still carrying around
my cataract shades, and usually leaving them in the wrong car, etc.
My current lenses have an anti glare coating. Since I don't know what
it would be like without them, I have no idea what help they are.
They sure do attract smudges.
Anyway, the independent OD I saw yesterday was able to make the double
vision go away. We ran out of time, so I am going back today and he
will have one of those trial lens set ups for me to wear. Wants me to
take a couple of hours, "do whatever you want" and see what you think
(i.e. do the other abberations go away, or, can I live with this
refraction and no further surgery?)
