List working to (unwritten) spec.

Just curious about this toric IOL, what's special about it re current US unavailability? Two years ago (age 71) I got toric aspheric IOLs with astigmatism correction, here in Toronto, seemed like a standard product mfd. by ALCON. Cost of lenses alone C$575 each. Diopter and astigmatism correction in small steps, not bespoke, so you get "best fit"; result was 20/20 one eye, 20/25 other (which had much greater astigmatism). Chose distance focus not near, have reading glasses scattered about; works for me, "distance" is about 3m-infinity, all good for most of the time. Eschewed the one near/one far split even though good reports from some folks, didn't trust that *my* brain could manage the split, and IMO there's no safe/reliable opportunity to make a correction post-surgery. Hoping all goes well, nothing to fear, mine was fine, but maintain the prescription eyedrop regimen religiously to avoid the remotest possibility of infection.

In London channeling my inner Nathan.
Marnie getting a toric IOL tomorrow that won’t be available in US for at least a year. 
 She can’t wait. Hopefully all goes well.
