Cold and drizzly here. I have dropsy of the heart disease. When I drop my butt, I ain't got the heart to get up.

I had bifocals once, drove me nuts! Everything is clear, look down slightly and everything is a HUGE blur. Like the progressives a lot more.

 

[Rammy]

I have the progressives, too. I thought I would be ok with the lined bifocals, but once I saw them said nope! Had to wait another week to get them but never get anything else now. In fact, I need to get new lenses but havent had time to go for an exam.

I am 1000% against the "one near, one far" thing. ONE THOUSAND PERCENT. Your brain is looking for a clear image from each eye and merges those into a single image. If one is out of focus you will first see only blurry then your brain will adapt and IGNORE the input from the out of focus eye. And there goes your depth perception ... something I have never had but normal people are used to and rely on. Do you get 2 pair of glasses, one that "fixes" the near eye and one that "fixes" the far eye? How stupid would that be?

 

[Bruce]

They have "lineless" bifocals. But then you still have the issue of instantly going from clear to blurry. I suppose how "unnoticeable" the line is depends on how much correction one needs both near and far.

 

[Rammy]

I really havent had a problem with blurry vision with the progressives.

I got my first set of bifocals about 7 years ago and never did like the line when going down steps. I got a set of progressives about a month ago and so far I really like them. I keep the lined ones in the car since the line doesn't matter there. But my vision correction is fairly minor so that may change if I ever decide to let myself get older.

 

[Rammy]

Oooohhh, it gets worse. Ive considered that laser thing, but am too scared someone messing with my eyes like that. I wasnt happy when the dr told me I needed bifocals. Since then, I have been unable to go back to single vision. Ive worn glasses since the 8th grade. Worn bifocals for the past ten years.

 

[Rammy]

I think I will stick with glasses. Unless I dont have a choice, nobody is gonna zap my eyeballs. Unless its Hrithik Roshan, oh, baby!

I have trifocals and not really keen about them because the space alotted for each lense is not enough and I have one eye looking thru 1 lense and the other thru another, plus when I need the bottom trifocal my neck and head don't always bend enough to focus on things.....so, I end up using my hand to move the glasses to be able read whatever it is....when I'm driving I catch myself just looking over the top of the frames, because of the distortion....tho, Gabbie bending the frames has nothing to do with it I'm sure....
