I think whether or not one is pleased with them also depends on
what one tends to do with one's eyes!

I will say that I suspect my glasses may have been slightly "off"
somehow. At any rate, I won't do that again (ca $700 bucks, but
the frames are salvageable.) I also would, as a result, NEVER
consider such lenses in conjunction with cataract surgery, so
perhaps this was a valuable learning experience for me.

All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently
opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
