My reading requires seeing the entire field of vision in focus. Progressives simply would require me to turn my head too much and slow my reading too much compared to bifocals. Now, if my work required me to view a single point that was at some indeterminant distance, like an auto mechanic who has to stare at a bolt that might be 6 inches away or 4 feet away depending on where it is on the car, progressives would work fine for me. But that's not what I do.BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-24691031202456035802007-10-16T15:53:00.000-07:002007-10-16T15:53:00.000-07:00I rather like my progressive lenses.MixterI rather like my progressive lenses.<BR/><BR/>MixterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-64101772698607729972007-10-16T13:52:00.000-07:002007-10-16T13:52:00.000-07:00what a drag it is getting old - rolling stones...a...what a drag it is getting old - rolling stones...and i feel ya my friend...i feel ya!!azgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190285114417409204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-73673998784792955462007-10-16T12:32:00.000-07:002007-10-16T12:32:00.000-07:00I have a medical condition that pretty much preclu...I have a medical condition that pretty much precludes laser eye surgery (or anything that requires actually touching the eyeball, like contacts). Besides, it fucks over your night vision (lights get sparkles around them and stuff like that). So I'm stuck with glasses, which is okay with me, I'd rather need glasses and, like, be able to actually see shit at night.BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-71131929265817704552007-10-16T11:21:00.000-07:002007-10-16T11:21:00.000-07:00While it may not help with your close-in vision, h...While it may not help with your close-in vision, have you checked into getting laser surgery? I had RK done years ago, and my distance vision was vastly improved. If you can get it just to 'only' need reading glasses, I'd say go for it...it's quick, painless, and best of all, could get rid of the need of your bifocals!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680604981092904582noreply@blogger.com
