Interesting, Crankin. I'll be curious to see how you like them.

I went back to my place and spoke to them about my problems with my progressives. She was willing to work with me to find a good solution. Basically, the problem is that my reading Rx is so strong and my distance is so mild that it has a lot of distortion as the lens transitions between the two. Our solution based on my usage needs was to remove the reading Rx from my lens. So my progressives will give me the slight distance correction (in only one eye) and my mid-range vision (like for computer or car dashboard or ingredient lables or smart phone). For up close reading, I just ordered a pair of inexpensive readers. When I read, it's often for extended periods of time when I'll have no issue with changing my glasses anyway.

We'll see how this works. The new lenses won't arrive for another 2 weeks. I think it'll be great for awhile, but as my eyes continue to degrade, I'm sure I'll have to come up with another solution.
