On Feb 01, I ordered a couple pair of eye glasses from Zenni
Optical. They arrrived, Feb 21. As they write on the web site,
bifocals and complicated lenses take longer. So, the time was
about right. And yesterday was a holiday.

I took my Zennis out for a drive. There is fading daylight, but plenty
enough to see. The bifocals I bought for "daily wear" are not strong
enough to read street signs. Each time I'd had to buy new glasses,
it was because I could not read street signs. I'd have to get close,
a couple car lengths from the sign, before it was in focuss. Well,
guess what, that's exactly what these glasses do. Not enough
correction for me to read street signs.

Not much benefit for my money.

I have emailed the Zenni service email adress, and will let you
know what I hear. And, I'm going to put my old eye glasses
back on.


Astigmatism?? Doesn't sound like you have cataracts. I'm
practically an eye doctor having had my cataracts removed 6 months ago
and going thru a lot of testing and my wife just had one eye done this
week and having the 2nd done next week. So I've been educated a lot
on eye care lately. If it helps bifocals are made so the top portion
is for distance and the small bottom portion is for reading books or
stuff (not road signs). You should be able to read the signs thru the
upper portion of your bifocals.
