Subject: RE: BS: new specs - will I get used to them?
Odd that the progressives didn't solve your problems SRS or perhaps I should just consider myself fortunate that they work so well for me, because I still find it way easier to only have to keep track of one pair of glasses. Also I only have to keep a single pair clean. I used to be a head tipper when I wore bifocals and drove my kids nuts when I spoke to them, because I was always tilting my head and looking down my nose at them.

At one time, I only wore reading glasses for close up work, but it would frustrate me not to be able to look away from my work and focus on the rest of the room clearly, particularly since it is better for your eyes to change focal lengths every once in awhile while working.

I was constantly flipping them on and off and also misplacing them, or knocking them off the top of my head, until I finally wore them on a cord, only to find when they weren't in use, they hung at chest level collecting crumbs and other debris.

The progressives have solved almost all my former annoyances regarding wearing glasses. As far as the computer screen is concerned, I was informed that the top edge of the monitor should ideally be at eye level so you are able to look slightly downward at the screen. Right now, with this current screen, my eye level is just above the midpoint, hence my temporary difficulties.

For sunglasses I just use the little clip on ones that I keep in the car.
