Had a neighbor who is a D.O. Had a local practice that a number of neighbor
people went to in a fairly upscale area. A good friend and neighbor’s wife went
and got her eyes checked and bought glasses, to the tune of like $800. Husband
of neighbor, also a good friend, swore out revenge when he

"No like", huh? Does that really describe your feelings toward them? :-)
I was looking briefly on the Internet for a picture showing
Pretty much, although I’m not sure how “bad” is qualified. I can tell you that
most if not all of the online glasses places will replaced and fix any goofs in
the prescription for free. I had one with 39DollarGlasses a couple years ago
where I used their tool to determine my PID and it was off.
I had some made at Costco some years ago and I just could not wear them
even after trying to get acclimated. Took them back and they took them
back, no questions, refunded my money. I got some others from the
optician/optometrist shop and they were much better. I guess it depends
on the

Not in my experience. I had progressive bifocals. They worked well as
Mine are very useful, as long as I have freedom to move my head up or down

Are the progressive lenses truly usable over the entire surface of the

The no line bifocals I first got only had a narrow band that worked at the
top and another at the bottom.

Yes, that's called nearsightedness, and it sounds like you've developed
some astigmatism as well. I can't read the big E, and can read without my
glasses. The correction for distant vision makes everything smaller, hence
even without the astigmatism correction, I see the smallest things better
My issue for the last nearly 20 years is I can see fine up close but far off is
a blur like trying to read road signs or watch TV. Here lately I have noticed
if I am reading my phone or some sort of very small print I can see fine at mid
arms length but if it’s really small print that I have to
I've found the trifocals to be perfect for both driving and flying - both
the distance and the instruments are in focus, with the line between at the
top edge of the dash. Love it.

I tried "lineless" bifocals when it became that time, and could not get

trifocals. I also had trouble working on things up close, and the
optometrist made a set of what he called "computer glasses" that are

When I started wearing glasses I went with progressives. They took a little
getting used to, but once you get the hang of it they’re great, I think. I need
them for close up stuff, like computer and reading.

I ordered two pairs of glasses from Zenni, a single vision pair and a
