My mother's husband is an optometrist, and he sent me a sample pair. Yuck: it was as if I had my reading glasses on all the time, even when I was looking into the distance. When I told him about it, he said that the curve or the diameter was probably wrong for my cornea, so the lens kept dropping down and I was seeing through the top (which was the peripheral near-vision part) instead of the center. Makes sense. I guess I'll go to the eye clinic here at work and give them another try. I'd love to be able to ditch the reading glasses, which are, sadly, becoming more and more necessary.

Aloha,
Mark
