• My vision is rectangles rotated counter clockwise.

    I have new glasses that show.rectangles as rectangles, but rotated counter clockwise. It is OK during the day, but gets very bad in the dark. At night, while driving, out my right window, it looked like up the side of a mountain, and out the left it
    looked like a drop off. The distortion caused me to sideswipe a car. I am going to have cataracts removed. Anyone hear of this problem? Thanx, Frank

    If I were forced to guess (I'm not a pro, just a sufferer) I'd think
    that you have severe astigmatism and the correction in the glasses is
    just wrong. What does the doc say? If you're on medicare and do have
    severe astigmatism, spend the money for toric lenses even if you have to
    borrow it -- it's the best $2K you'll ever spend.

    Do you want distance or near vision when you have your cataract surgery?

    I chose distant. My mom wasn't given an option -- the doc just decided
    that she should have near vision. She was really pissed when I told her
    (much later) that she could have had a choice.
