Progressive Lenses

[Doctor Phibes]

Have you tried moving your eyeballs instead of your head?

They do take a bit of getting used to, but I couldn't live without mine. For the computer I have a separate set with occupational lenses

Transition lenses or progressive lens?

Progressive. Luke got the transitions…

Have you worn glasses your whole life? I've heard that people who have struggle more with progressives. I started wearing glasses in my 30's, and didn't have any issues.

I hated them at first.

Now, no problem.

I will give it a try, but am glad Karla was driving tonight. Every car coming straight on had three sets of headlights.

Don't care for progressives. I wear a standard D-seg bifocal.

@ Lufin's Dad
You're a conservative for cripes sake! How did you ever think progressive lenses would work for your eyes?

Thinking of trying some reactionary lenses. Maybe some Jacobite readers.

Maybe get them rose-tinted so that when you look back at the past it will seem a lot nicer.

I get mine with a transitional darkening to gray.

hadn't had a pair of the transitionals since the late 70's. The problem with them was they eventually darkened to where they never were quite clear again. I just bought a pair again a couple years ago and am quite happy with them.

I hate that they do not transition in the car. A separate pair of prescription sunglasses are required.

Don't you mean Jacobin lenses?

Jacobite implies support for the Stuart claim to the throne.

[jon-nyc]

Yes I chose the word carefully as an example of reactionary.

@jon-nyc

I see.

No pun intended.
