Alright, I'll admit it, I'm an old fart, or at least feel like one, after having to get bifocals (but I got the no-lined kind, because I don't want to LOOK like an old fart!).
Anyone else here wear them? I just started wearing them last night, to try to get used to them, and I swear I'm going to fall down my basement stairs if I wear them when I'm doing laundry! I just don't like the area in front of my feet to be blurry.
And I hate having to find the "sweet spot" that is in focus on the bottom and holding my head at a tilt.
I'm definitely NOT wearing them to workout (I'll go with a non-bifocal prescription for those), or I'll fall flat on my face (or the other end!).
I'm very tempted to ditch the whole bifocal thing and just keep on lifting my glasses up to read close print. Or maybe getting one of those "magnifying glass" necklaces that Travel Smith sells.
(And before anyone comes up with the idea: Contacts are not a viable option--I used to wear them when they were smaller, but when I tried again a few years ago, they were too much of a pain for me...and I don't want to pull on my eye so much I cause even more wrinkles!. Lasik is out as well, according to my new eye doc. Not because of safety, but because I'd still have to wear glasses anyway afterwards to read and for close viewing).
Getting older s*(#@s!
