(2,187 posts)This is probably in your reply, so my apologies for missing it. Did you get the regular lenses rather than the toroid, and if you got the regular lenses do you have to wear glasses for driving? That is becoming my main thing, the fact that my opthamologist told me if I got the regular lenses that don't correct my slight astigmatism I would have to wear glasses for driving in the future. Which makes no sense to me, because I've been driving without glasses, astigmatism and all, all my life. I've got no particular objection to the toroid lenses, other than the additional cost and the idea I've got in my head that since they are more complicated they might be more prone to issues. And the fact that I have a suspicion my ophthalmologist is trying to upsell me, even though I've been going to him for over a decade and have been happy.
