Hi Chuck,

With one old and one new eye, all I have to do is close one eye to see 
the difference.  And, you are right.  The difference is amazing.  I have 
astigmatism, which can only be partially corrected by the implanted 
Toric lens.  Even with just one eye "fixed", I find that I have no 
problem driving without glasses.  I will probably end up with bifocal 
glasses to tine tune both distance and reading.
