Was having trouble with being able to see the monitor and whatnot fine but looking down to read stuff on my desk I had to take off my glasses. Was funny really as my eyes got better not worse but they do now need bifocals... or the graduated, no line, things they use now instead of bifocals.

In short... *shakes cane* Get off my lawn!

My "new" boss wears them, although they don't seem to work that well.

Yeah that is why I went in. It was driving me nuts. I could see the monitor fine but look down to read something on my desk and it was all blurry... grr.

Oh I've had glasses as long as I can remember... the bifocal thing is new though. Not that you could tell with the new ones. More expensive but look just like normal glasses.

I can't imagine not having the invisible line ones. Like you, I've worn glasses since Jr Hi. The rest of my sight issues have rarely changed over the years. Just the damn close-up stuff. tongue

I opted for two pair of glasses. One for reading; one for driving. I probably should've gone the bifocal route. Two pair are a PITA.

I do have a pair of shades I am having them put distance lenses in since I only wear them in the car. For day to day though I couldn't do two pairs. I back and forth so much that it is actually what pissed me off. I was constantly lifting my glasses up to read something.... I was like, "oh hell, I'm getting old." sad

When I had some money to burn I had 3 pairs, reading, general seeing and sunglasses. Next pair are going to be Transitions. I had some ages ago and really liked them.

I'm also 41 but I've worn correctives pretty much my entire life so this is just the next step, lol.
