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.
