Default Speaking of Vision -- How 'bout Progressive Bifocals?

"Morgans" wrote in message
...


I have line bifocals, and I would not want to consider anything else. The
thing is, you get to choose where the line goes on the glasses, as to how
far up on the lens the transition is placed. I also have the auto
darkening


You can pick where the progressive stuff starts as well, but I assume they
will take up more room on the lens...

I have my line pretty far down, since as a carpenter, I want to have my
far vision to be in effect without looking down, so I can see what I am
walking on while up high in the air on a beam or floor joist. There is a
trade-off, since if you get it too low, and too small, you really have to
tilt your head back very far to read a display, or read a book.

Bottom line? Personal preferences. Try some, and if you don't like it,
try the others. It's only money! g


I like the progressives (at least, as far as having bi-focals goes, eh?)

Just be careful on stairways for the first few days. (or on any beams.)
