As one who has worn bifocals for about the last four years I can say that they are not to bad. I have found that the progressive lenses work much better than the ones with the lines.

I even have some safety glasses, both clear and shaded, with the cheaters on them for work. Anymore I can't see anything up close with out them.

The one exception is working in the PLC cabinets. I have a pair of straight reading glasses for doing that work as the font on the wire labeling is about a "2" size LOL

Good luck with the new cheaters.

Regards

I've been wearing trifocals since 1994, I'm older than dirt.

Regarding bifocals, I have the lined type (with significant corrections) and use them without a downside. I've not tried the progressives, but don't have an issue with these despite the full catastrophe from demolition to tile saw to fighting falling boxes in poorly loaded trucks. In five decades of glass lenses only one broke and that in a Tucson barfight.

Regarding the new year, may it bring us each and every one the personal rewards and the politcal-strategic resolution of the crises presenting the choice of danger or opportunity.
