I put a call into the fitter today, but it was later in the day. Maybe I will hear back tomorrow. I think my expectations may be just too high. After all, many people where readers, so I might just have to accept that if I have to give up clear distance vision. I welcome any other comments though.
Hello Mysterylover,

I suspect that your circular traffic lights appearing as ovals may be a lack of focus due to the lack of astigmatism correction, particularly at night.

We will all be interested to hear what your CL fitter advises though.
