My up close vision is going. I just got new glasses last month, and discussed getting either bifocals or reading glasses with my optometrist, and I opted to wait another year. Now, a month later, I'm regretting the decision to wait. My vision is getting worse by the day, and I'm having a hard time working (I'm a goldsmith).

I can now see better while soldering without my glasses than with them, but looking for tools, etc., I need the glasses on. It's frustrating to constantly be taking my glasses off and putting them back on. I'm guessing that means I'd prefer bifocals to reading glasses.

So, what are your experiences? Has the transition from single focal lens to bifocal been hard or easy? Thanks in advance for any advice.
