I love my eye doctor! They keep trying until they find something that really works.
I'll make a note of that and ask at my summer checkup. I've tried the multi-focal lenses every time they made a "breakthrough" and always ended up going back to my old mono-vision setup, with my dominant (right) optimized for distance and my other for reading. Problem was the reading prescription kept having to get backed off more and more each year so that after about 5 or 6 years with them I had a gap in my vision from about 2 feet out to 6 feet where neither eye saw well. And that's where I've been for a couple of years or so.
