Thread Name: BS: Bifocal contacts work great!
Subject: RE: BS: Bifocal contacts work great!
I got used to them in about 2 seconds. No kidding. I put them in, and was startled to see how clearly I could see my hands and the material on the arm of my shirt. Wow. I went and got a magazine and read the small print with no difficulty. Double wow! This was all while I was waiting to be shown into the doctor's examining room. When I got there, I could not only see great at long distance on the charts, but also could read the smallest print up close. He was surprised. He said most people don't get such a good result as that, although it generally works fine for them...just not quite so well as it did for me.

I'll find out the brand name tomorrow if I can, but they're probably closed. And I'm out of town next week. Well, I'll find out as soon as I can, and then refresh the thread.

I'm just using a trail pair now, and they are working great for everything, including using the computer.

I'm not sure about the astigmatism, but I'll see if I can find out.

PM me in early November if I get distracted and forget to post the info here.
