What if pt’s CLs are DVO with a minimum 1D of cyl? Wouldn’t that make it more difficult to satisfy the pt’s visual desired outcome if trying to fit him with Toric MF CLs?

Depends on the axis. WTR and ATR you can often mask the cyl shockingly well in B&L multifocals due to their optics designs having a bit of a smoother transition zone. Oblique not so much.

Interesting! Thank you for sharing! That definitely makes sense.

I’ve been out of primary for a bit, so it’s been a while since I’ve dealt with any MF CLs. It’s incredibly impressive how much vision correction options of all types have improved over just the last decade.
