creator,

probably half the people you know who wear glasses (at least after 50 or so) are wearing progressive (bifocal/trifocal) glasses.

There are a few people who just can't adjust, but most people get used to them in a short period. Then your eyes, and the way they glance through your glasses, make slight adjustments, and there is very little perception as to where the lens "changes" it's focus.

Naturally, the strongest lens is situated at the bottom, so reading, and therefore looking down, you look through the "reading lens" part.

As you lift your eyes (not necessarily your head), you begin to look through the "mid-distance lens", and eventually, as you are looking into the distance, you are looking through the "distant vision" part of the lens...which is at the top part of your lenses.

So, they smooth out these three distinct prescription lenses so there is no lines of demarcation (no one knows you have to have "bifocals") And, it looks like you're just wearing plain old glasses...nothing orthopedic!


Believe me...floaters are a MUCH bigger problem than getting used to progressive lens glasses.

Good vision to you, my friend.
