I'm not digging these progressive lenses Ugh. :(:(:( Anyone else have these? You ever get used to them? |
I know what your going threw. Good luck I hope you can adjust, I couldn't. I tried two years ago. I suffered with them for about two months then gave up. I moved my computer in every direction possible thinking I would find the right spot and see it. I returned them and got computer glasses and reading ones. Now I can see again.:p Never again. |

It really does take a little time to adjust, but I really like mine now. You might want to go back to your eye doctor and have them checked out. They can and do make mistakes with prescription lenses from time to time. You just never know. At the very least, it wouldn't hurt to call. There might be a free followup included. |

I'm just looking forward to not losing my glasses. I figure if I'm supposed to keep them on my face all the time I'll be less likely to lose them. |

I do the monovision thing and don't have a problem. One lens is for distance and one for reading. Maybe it's a bit old-fashioned but it works for me. |
It does take time to adjust, but I was able to do it in a few weeks. The trick is not moving your head, rather your eyes. I actually found it most difficult to do things such as go to the movies. I'm so used to looking through the lower part of the lense for computer/reading, that looking toward the top to watch a movie was hard for me!!!! Driving can still be tricky, cause it's top for the road, bottom for the guages. |

I've had mine since about October 2008 and I adjusted very quickly, but I never had regular bifocal glasses to start with. I had put off glasses till I literally couldn't see well even with the cheap cheaters. I was so glad to see again I took to them right away. The hardest part for me was grocery shopping. I didn't know I only looked from side to side with my eyes till I got these glasses. Trying to focus on words was impossible, I must have looked like a bobble head walking down the isles. The eye dr told me that with these I would have to point my nose at whatever I wanted to see/read and he was right. No more just turning my eyes, I have to turn my head. Also I had to move the computer screen up. I love mine now that I know how to use them and have trained myself to move my head. |

My husband has them and absolutely hated them and was totally pissed at the eye doctor for suggesting them almost $700. later. He did eventually get used to them and has worn them ever since. Good luck!! |
I used them for 4 years and hated them. I wore my glasses on top of my head most of the day, unless I needed them for distance or driving. I recently got just regular distance glasses (because the old progressive pair broke) but that's turning out to be even worse because now I can't see to sign my own name! So I'm debating on getting another pair of progressive lenses ... It's hard getting OLD! |
:D your not the only one I got mine in Sept and still have problems. Sometimes things that are round look oval and I really have a problem looking in the side mirror of the car. <------------curses old age |
When I made the switch to bifocals a couple of years ago I got progressive so I have never known anything different. I don't have a problem. I have heard that people who had regular bifocal have a hard time switching to the progressive. I even have bifocal contacts. |
Oh I love my progressive lenses. I went from no glasses to progressive. There was some adjustment, but once I got accustomed to them, I would never consider regular bi's. |
Oh no, Judy I hope you get use to them soon. There's not much else worse than when your glasses don't fit right or something else is wrong with them. I have had progressive bifocals for at least 4 years now and I think their great. It only took me a couple of days to get use to them. Good Luck, Judy. :goodluck: |

I remember the first time I got bifocals. It was quite frightening and yes, the steps were a nightmare. I have trifocals now and with my prescription strength, they won't make them in the progressive lenses.:rolleyes: So Judy, does that mean you're getting older or are you just using your eyes too much on YT?:D LOL Hey did you get exotic frames or anything cool? I got burgandy frames with the wide sides last month. They are "totally cool" (so the little neighbor girl tells me). |
It takes time, I have been in Bifocals for about 5 years now. I think I may need trifocals.The worst part for me was walking down steps. |
I LOVE mine. When my dr first told me I needed bifocals, I said "no lines". So I started off with them and never knew anything else. |
These are my first "bifocal" types. Prior to this it was just readers. I got very good at keeping a pair on my head.:rolleyes: Actually, it's day 2 and I think I'm already adjusting... I will not respond to comments about my age;):yelrotflmno matter who makes them. Yes, I think they are cool. Although, they aren't anything like the ones I remember picking out.:rolleyes: |
I wear progressives too...took me a while to get used to them...It takes a while to learn to move your head and not yours eyes (If you've ever worn bifocals). The thing with mine is...I don't wear big frames so there isn't much of the near vision to look through...I quilt,so if I am sewing I wear readers instead of my glasses....which is dumb! then I can't see the tv!! My eye doctor told me that I could get the rounded bifocal and there really isn't any line..you can however still see the bifocal...it just isn't so pronounced...I'm vain and don't want the line. I also wear contacts (bifocal) I do need to wear readers when I need to see close...because I have an astigmatism the contact doesn't sit quite right for me to see real close. |
I've only had the progressives, never had the other kind didn't like the obvious line in the lense. But it did take me a few weeks to get used to them. Stairs were scary, LOL :eek: |
