I needed to go to bifocals many years ago while still relatively young and was too vain to wear lenses with lines. It took a bit to adjust at first but once I got onto the routine no problem. The lenses have much improved over the years and I find them second nature now. Once in a while there is an issue with close work above eye level but the readers work for those relatively seldom moments.

Another thing, I have found that a taller lens works better with progressives. With a short lens, the entire spectrum of correction is compressed into the smaller space. Aviator style shape works well, spreading out the correction over a wider and taller range. When in doubt, mumble | |||

I had to get bifocals when I was 46 YO. The only problems I ever had was stairs, you have got to be careful with them in the beginning. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

My dauly glsses and sunglasses are progressives. They are great for 90% of what I do. I have dedicated single prescription computer/shooting glasses. They are not good when in front of a computer for hours and for shooting prefer my single prescription, but I also train with the progressives as that is what I wear moat times. Only downside is expense “Forigive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.” -Scottish proverb | |||

I made the witch about 10 years ago. Until you are really adjusted, be very careful on stairs. ___________________________ "Opinions vary" -Dalton | |||

Day 3. Much better. I believe this is going to work out. The first day I’ll admit was rough. I was getting over the flu and my stomach was still a bit.....unsettled. Now I feel fine and have worn them without going back to my old pair for 2 days. Thanks for all the advice. Brian ________________________ Hi,I'm Buck Melonoma,Moley Russels' wart. | |||

A few years ago I needed readers. I normally wear contacts and have glasses as a back up. When I had my glasses updated this year I got progressives. HUGE difference. It took me about 5 minutes to adjust.

Did you get your vision corrected as part of the cataract surgery, such that it was covered by insurance? As opposed to walking into a Lazik place, which is not covered by insurance. | |||

The first time I tried them I hated them. The second time (when the Doctor said it's progressive or bifocals) I asked the optician for suggestions. They basically said the same thing as above with this additional item and one additional comment: > when reading, move your head as you go across the page. Don't just move your eyes. > See expanded comment (in red) above Speak softly and carry a | |||
