Subject: RE: BS: new specs - will I get used to them?
we call them multifocals here!

I've been wearing multifocals for years (10???) & my eyes have never had any trouble adjusting.

My first pair were a bit funny for a few minutes, then perfect. All future pairs were perfect too. I've also have multifocal computer glasses for years, maybe not as long. BUT ...

1. An older friend who got a pair before me had to take them back & get bifocals as she never got used to them, & a lot of folks find it difficult to adjust to a new pair.

2. I'm getting 2 pairs of new lenses made at the moment & can hardly wait as these computer glasses I'm wearing are no longer right for me. Did someone mention sore neck? & wiggling head about to focus properly?
I was diagnosed with early cataracts Feb 2005 & have noticed the deterioration in my eyes since then. Formerly I saw my specialist every 2 or 3 years, & had my lenses replaced, now I need new lenses each year.

Part of the problem is my computer setup (almost impossible to change due to furniture & space), the other part is my eyes as I also have problems with my other glasses.
