suggested the Crystalens as providing some degree of accommodation for
my presbyoptic condition. (I'm considering cataract surgery because of ...

I had cataract surgery in both eyes over a month ago, and with the new
IOLs, have gone from O.D.-12.75 and O.S.-14.00 sph / 0.50 cyl / 068

My wife wears non-toric contact lenses.
Her RX is:

I was told by my optician that there would always be a slight benefit
to aspheric lenses.  However, my research seems to indicate that a
true best-form spheric is best.  My question is, If someone has a
prescription filled with a CR-39 lens, would they automatically be

She is not a 15 yr old girl form Norway.  S/he has been around a lot
