The toric lens may improve the astigmatism but that is not the main reason to spend additional dollars. The value in the additional dollars is to increase the depth of field.
I wanted to thank everyone that contributed in this thread. I had the surgery today.
Based on what MosesKnows said, I chose not to challenger that Doctor and proceed with the toric lense.
I am finding that the dilation of that eye today HAS NOT worn off. I remember from a normal eye exam that it wears off in only a few hours, its been 14 hours for me now and I still get wash out vision in the surgery eye. I hope the surgery did not sever a nerve that controls the iris !!! Wouldn’t want to live with that for life.
Does anybody here remember the day of surgery wear off timeframe ?
btw: I choose the 2.0D magnification for near to interm. rather than the Dr wanting 1.25D for cpu distance.

Do you know if this one is the better lens ?
It is supposed to be a toric IOL.
