New glasses

[Catlady711]

I had a similar problem when we got our first computer. So I have a pair of computer glasses - the entire lens is like the bottom of my bifocals. I love them.

Yeah, my eye doctor has stuff telling about those. My mom doesn't have a computer (she actually hates the things) so the only time she looks at one is when I have something I want to show her.

Usually the best solution is to put it on the laptop where I can set it down lower and it's easy for her to see the screen.

Got the email today that my new glasses from Zenni Optical have been shipped. They will be my first-ever bifocals. I got "progressive" ones, so it won't be obvious to the whole world, but mostly so the line won't be bothersome to me. I know that we have many people here older than me, any bifocal wearers - how was it adjusting to them when you first got them?

Just curious - I have worn glasses since the summer I turned 9 years old, so am used to a day or so of adjustment time, but have never had bifocals. Any tips?

I'm wearing progressive multifocals since about 10 years. When I got my first ones I put them on my nose, put them down to drive home (didn't want the first drive immediately), put them on again and have worn them ever since. My eye doctor and I think you have to be decided and then you do it. He says men usually are more chicken than women (I am sure he is wrong and he certainly is not politically correct here).
Of course you have to turn your head more as you cannot look that far sideways as with other glasses- but you'll learn that in no time.
