    Raising hand, yep bifocals here. No lines. The line ones were harder to get used to didnt like them.
    Only have to wear them for close up and reading. Anymore they get worn allot more than when I was younger. LOL
    Upper half is clear lens for me.
    You get used to positioning the head to see things or read.

    I just saw David's thread and remembered this one.

    I got my bifocals a month ago. When I put them on, I was amazed that nothing was blurry - like with the other ones I had for a few days. Ok, I'm not really using them yet, but they're nice to have as extras. The reading field is a bit narrow for my taste, but that's probably because I should have chosen a bigger frame. However, I still prefer to read without glasses.

    So David, go for them, but make sure they're made totally right! You'll soon get used to them.

    I've been nearsighted for 35 years. I always wear my glasses, but this year, I am beginning not to see things up close.
    I can't see to clip my nails or the cats.
    I have to tear off my glasses to do these things now. It's not effecting my reading, yet.

    I might investigate whether Lasik can correct my nearsightedness and leave me with only 'up close' glasses.
    I know they can do the monovision thing with Lasik, but that scares me. What if you don't like it?

    I want to avoid Bifocals, and I am extremely prone to motion sickness.

    Any one with experience with Lasik and two vision problems?
