Yes-ICLs can be set for monovision. But at 57 my preference would be a Refractive Lens Exchange. This procedure stabilizes vision, allows the implantation of a Toric IOL, and means cataract surgery won't be needed in the future. If your natural lenses are very clear and free of any opacity...
The quality of vision you describe is likely due to either a power miscalculation or an astigmatism axis issue from your toric implant. If the axis of your ICL is misplaced it can result in blurry vision. Likewise, if the power of the ICL is off it could leave vision poorly corrected as well....
