I purchased progressives from Zenni, and they're okay for occasional close-up work, but I'm not crazy about them. From what I understand, the mail order glasses have a very narrow corridor. I find that if I'm wearing my Zenni progressives, I need to tilt my head back when looking at my computer display. I should point out that I had a local optometrist-fitted pair of progressives before these, and they were excellent for everything including computer work, but they cost $375.
The last time I had an eye exam, my doc wrote three prescriptions for me: One for bifocals, one for reading, and one for computer use. The computer prescription is not the same as the distance prescription. My computer prescription is OD PL/-1.25/170 OS +1.25/-3.50/15, and my distance prescription is OD -1.25/-1.25/170 OS PL/-3.50/15 I now have a pair of dedicated computer glasses . I generally sit at a computer for hours at a time, so once I got used to switching glasses it was no big deal.

Is this how Zenni would make my progressives? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
