>causing the astigmatism in my eyes at

I have a crazy thought.I've had astigmatism for years. I also need correction
for far and near sightedness. I'm sure you know what that means for astronomy.
 Recently, I had two cateracts removed and guess what. The lenses they put in
are not astimatic and perfectly focused at infinity. Although I have some
trouble reading paper sized print, I no loger need to wear glass while
observing. Fortunately, my retina is in great shape. I live in the greater
Phila delphia so that I have not had a chance to check out my new eyes. I'm
going to the WSP and I'll report later
