Can anyone recommend "progressive" bi-focals?
How about TRI-focals?

I use a bifocal in one eye, with the line lower than usual by a few mm.
That way I have one eye with full distant vision and at one eye that
can read an approach plate. IT took some getting used to (both eyes
could use bifocals) and the optician did not want to give me that kind
of prescription (even though the doctor said it was fine). He died a
week later and the new optician gave me the lenses I wanted.

Progressives have a blurry area right in the middle, and trifocals have
narrow areas of good focus. That would bug me.

couldn't you be more subtle in your approach? such as trying to dead
horse head in the bed technique first?

No. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Mine do not. Basically, you can look at a picture about the height of your chin
on a wall 20' away, hold your head in an upright position, and walk towards the
picture. It will stay in focus all the way to the wall.

What they *do* have is blurred areas on the sides. There's a band of distance
vision across the top of the lens, but the band of clear vision narrows as you
go down the lens. Can't look at the girls out of the corner of your eyes. :-(

It's hard to be a dirty old man with progressive lenses.
