If you wear glasses

Any members wear glasses with progressive lenses? I've decided to give them a try to stop the need to take my glasses off to read.

My last two pairs were progressives, and I hate them. I've started removing them to read. Oddly enough, with these particular glasses I have not been able to "see" worth a damn. It's as if the prescriptions are wrong. But they've insisted no (and they came from different vision offices).

Most of the time I wear my contacts, anyway.

Here's wishing you better luck with them than I've had.

I wear glasses and I don't have progressive lens. Whatever. I like my glasses so I'll keep wearing them.

Remind me, what ARE progressive lenses?

They're multi-focal. In my case, being near sighted, the top of the lens will have the strongest prescription for distance with the strength lessening towards the bottom. A number of years ago I had to start taking my glasses off to read or see things up close and I'm just tired of it. Bluesmama, my wife had them and hated them too but I know people who love them. The optician in the ophthalmologist's office will replace them with single vision lenses at no additional cost if I really hate them but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They should be ready by next week.

Good luck to you! I’ve been wearing progressive glasses for about 10 years and my first pair of progressives gave me a headache for 2 weeks. My optometrist confirmed the Rx on the lenses was correct and advised me to try for some more weeks. Luckily, I finally got used to them. Recently, I just got a new pair from online glasses retailer (Zenni Optical) instead of my optometrist office since several hundred $$$ was beyond my budget.
