Is There A Multifocal Lens That Could Correct For Astigmatism?
I'm considering monofocal lenses to correct my nearsightedness but I have some astigmatism - 1.6 in one eye and 2.0 in the other. The doctor has recommended limbal relaxing insisions, or a toric lens, but now I'm thinking I should hold off altogether on the surgery and wait to see if multifocal lenses can correct for presbyobia. Is there a multifocal lens that could correct for astigmatism and have some adjustment for presbyopia? Or is the state of the technology advancing so fast that I'd be better off waiting > 1 year?
