The order from 2/1/12 arrived, today, 2/21/12. They got the correct number,
and style of frames. A couple of them seem a bit stronger, a couple a bit
weaker. I don't have a gadget to measure the correction. Who can tell? I did
a primitive test of trying to read some text typed on a sheet, on the far
wall. Maybe 16 point text, at 8 feet.

The bifocals are a bit odd. The reading part is OK out to about 8 or 10
inches. Didn't actually measure. the distance lenses seem OK from maybe 10
inches, on out.

The reason I've always had to get new glasses, is hard time reading the
street name signs on the poles "MAIN STREET" and the other street. Will have
to go take a drive, and see if these are any better. For the price, I can't
compain too much.

Would be nice if the reading focuss part was in focuss to my fingers on the
computer, at least.

With my eyes, that's the hard part. Reading corrections are too strong
for computer use, and vice versa. So I have computer glasses and
reading glasses.

I also have some $880 progressives, which are good for shopping and
little else. They will cover anything in a pinch, but these are the
best you can get, and they have real limitations. If you're tempted to
go for progressives, check in first.
