I got new glasses.

The seeing kind, not the drinking kind.


No-line bifocals.
Ultra lightweight titanium frames.
Like the frames, but the lenses will take some getting used to.

I can tilt my head and make this post in fairly sharp focus or blurred.
Weird.

I can't do bifocals. I switch back and forth as I work, as advised by my eye doctor. onehandle Jun 2013 #3

used to the bifocals. I have both, lined for my music, made so I only have a tiny space for distance to see the conductor and the others are unlined. I swear I am going to end up breaking something. Been wearing them for at least 10 years now, still have problems. I do think that is unusual. My husband loved his immediately. I bet yours are perfect in a few days at the most.

I have two giant screens connected to my Mac and I need to see every inch of them in focus for my creative work.

Mr. Dixie has worn them for years, and just got new ones, so he is pretty adaptive.
But my efforts in wearing bofocals were not successful.
When driving, it allowed for only a small "window" to view thru, and that made me nutz.
I went back to reading glasses and driving glasses.

It's a little weird but I'm getting used to them.

I've never worn glasses before.
