    I still remember my late mom wearing bifocals for the first time. Now that I’m at her age when she wore that, I know eventually I’ll have to wear it too. Probably tomorrow ;)

    I still have two different sets of glasses – one for reading, the other for distance. I refuse to get bifocals!

    Instead of the lined bifocals, try progressive. It takes a bit of getting used to at first but after that it is so natural. The secret – initially, don’t move eyes to look left and right, but turn your head. Gradually revert to moving your eyes left and right.Bifocal contacts are available also.

    My folks had me later in life. I still remember the horror in my Father’s face when he tried to play catch with me after he got his tri-focals!

    I took to progressives right away. Much better than bifocals for keeping things in focus! I still need dedicated reading glasses for doing fine work with my hands though.
