You're exactly right. Firmoo read the forum here apparently and wrote to me. They ask before you give your prescription details if the glasses are for distance or close. If close they add the ADD. I am impressed with their communication. Unfortunately, at this time they only offer single vision but it's a great price and their communication is encouraging me to give them a try. I was just looking for sunglasses for driving anyway, it's just more convenient if I they have bifocal capability. I'll get back and report on the final product when it arrives.
