BTW, my brand new, never had these things before bifocals will be ready in a day or two. I have no idea what to really expect.
I just hope to be able to read stuff again without looking over, under, sideways, down.
I've been using variable focus lenses. They're driving me crazy.
Essentially, they are cylindrical lenses, and they are only useful in the centerline (up and down) of the lens.
This means I can see at long distances, intermediate distances, the range to my computer monitor, or to a close-held book. Convenient, eh?
It also means that when I drive up to an intersection, I have to turn my head physically around to use the centerline at an angle. I'm not that flexible.
I'm thinking of getting single vision lenses for driving. At least I'll be able to use my peripheral vision again.
Several years ago I walked into Lenscrafters... and came out with my first (correction) glasses, and they were bifocals. (Actually I started with graduated lenses, but they just didn't work for me at all, and made me feel ill in the process.)
Most things are fine with bifocals. Stairs are not. And if I'm working with computer screens for any time I pull out the granny-glasses readers for the increased area. (I don't really the need the uppers except to take my 20/20 vision back to whatever it was before it degraded to 20/20.)
