I got -real- lenses in my glasses, not progressives.

I started with progressives a kong time ago. A few years ago, I tried
regular bifocals and simply could not get used to them, Different

I was delighted with my Zenni glasses but I put them
in the car for backup anyway.

My second last pair of glasses is now in the truck as backups, as is
my pair with the broken lens. That's what gloveboxes are for, non?


I didn't check the 'frame width' number and ended up
with a too narrow frame. The temples splay outward
to get around my fat noggin. I guess they have those
numbers there for a reason, huh?

Ayup. I rectum so, sir.


Next time I shall measure one of my 'comfortable'
frames and use those numbers to select the new ones.

Go into any optical frame store and try some on. Once you find one
that looks/feels good, note the frame width, temple length, bridge
width, and lens dimensions. Ask for your PD. Some slower stores are
bored and will check it just for something to do.
