Stop in for a cup of coffee

I hear ya. Twisting my head and craning my neck to use the needed section of lens doesn't work for me in a lot of situations - same reasons.
I have a cheap presciption reading glasses for reading and any job that like brakes and under the car.
My old reading glasses are now about the right strength for the computer.


Interesting.
I have a set of $$$ progressives they talked me into but only find them useful in limited circumstances. Too much distortion and the head position thing for stuff like running the table saw and they're not safety rated anyway...

I've had progressives for years. First pair I hardly had any side view. Really sucked for driving. Took them back and went to a different place. They said part of the problem was as the lens gets bigger, the edge gets thicker and distorts too much. Got a different brand/type and a smaller lens. After using them for several years I recently went to Lensecrafters for a new pair due to insurance change and that's who my work deals with for safety glasses. Took a few trips back to get the safeties right. They never did get the regular ones correct. Went back to my other place and they said the lense is cut too high-has almost nothing for close vision.... Returned those and getting my regular place to make them. Cost is only slightly higher without insurance AND I may be able to send it in and get some coverage even though its out of network. Should have them soon, so hopefully they are as good as previous 2 pairs they did for me.

Good Morning
