Default How Many Traffic Lights?

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.
Your "sideways ovals" almost makes me think you're seeing double a little bit. Like the traffic light is two circles overlapping so they look like an oval.

Like knotlob said, we want to know how this all works out for you, so please let us know what the doctor says. I wish you well.
