“..I need the progressive lenses to read and use the computer.”
I couldn’t tolerate progressive or Tri-focal. I went with bi-focal then another pair just for my computer glasses. Works much better for me.
I guess that’s how I operated until I got these new glasses. I got some readers from Amazon but they were clear on the top. Like a bifocal but no power at the top. But I couldn’t see my computer so I had another pair sitting there that I would switch with.
BUT my eyes are so inflexible that if I had the 1.25 readers on all I could see was the computer, nothing else. Nothing further and nothing closer up. I’ve always liked stronger reading powers than my age suggest, so I think it might have something to do with the high myopia.
That’s why I need progressives. But it’s funny that I don’t remember it being difficult to get used to them. I guess since I’ve always had poor vision anything that helps is good. My husband can’t stand them either. He does what you do, bifocals and then he has computer glasses where he can see the computer and read.
