Default Zenni, my first bifocal

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.

Sounds like its time for computer glasses and reading
glasses.

Send Zini an email and they will calculate your reading and
computer glasses correction from your prescription.

I suggest getting a yellow tint for both the reading and
computer glasses, particularly if you are working under
fluorescent lighting. I got 50% yellow (slightly less dark
than Kalichrome C shooting glasses) and this works well for
me for both computer and reading glasses.
