Which is better, #3 or #4?

After having to hold my glasses with my hand to get the trifocal in the right place to be able to read print, I decided to get new lens. We go to Dr. Peter Glennie at Shopko Optical. He gives excellent exams. Actually, I had not been in since May 2003.
Being I person who usually tries to please, asking me to choose which is better between #3 and #4 is a bit maddening when I can't really tell any difference. But it is good to know that I don't have macular degeneration or any other eye disease. I do have cataracts, but they aren't ready for treatment.
I didn't feel any great need for new frames. In fact, I dug an old pair out the drawer. I was amazed that I could see better with them. But Dr. Glennie offered an explanation. A major problem I have is astigmatism.
Since my cataracts are getting worse, that makes the astigmatism better.
Anyway, I am wearing the old pair for a while since they have to send in the pair I was wearing to fit the new lens. And wonder of wonders, they are not made in China. I think she said "Green Bay, WI." Anyway, not across the street.
