Matter of opinion. I hesitated with my first pair of bifocals and then

time around tried the progressive lenses. I'd never go back to standard

Varilux ROCKS I'm on my fourth pair in about 12 years.

I'm still resisting going to bifocals. Did it take you long to get
used to using them?


I too, have avoided bifocals. I cannot see standard print without reading
glasses but my normal vision is still just good enough to cope. My wife has
bifocals and thinks they are great. She also tried transitional trifocals,
(at least I think that's what they are called, ) which have a graduated
seamless transition in focal length. She tried adapting for about 3 months
then went back to the bifocals.
