I went from hardly needing glasses at all (just readers) to progressives and I think I just need to wear them a little more each day instead of going days on end just using the readers around the house. I made myself wear them at the computer yesterday after you started this thread, and they weren't as bad as I remember. So, in a way, you have helped me out here dianthus. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060605 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:32:30 +0000 JillG 1060605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely shade of blue!<br />As for progressives, for about a week I couldn't see well with them and I couldn't see well without them.&nbsp; We have since made peace.&nbsp; I was also asked about use of&nbsp;a computer and I believe they adjusted the depth of the bifocal part of the lens accordingly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060410 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:04:23 +0000 Anonymous 1060410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah I was at the eye doctor too today, and my eyes are still getting worse every year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060406 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:00:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1060406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ceit.&nbsp; I should have added that I am still 20/20 for distance but can feel the difference there too.&nbsp; *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060401 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:57:05 +0000 Anonymous 1060401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be joining the progressives club in the next couple of years looks like!</p> <p>Love these bright colours on you, Dianthus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060399 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:55:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1060399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.&nbsp; My vision has changed little since my last check-up.&nbsp; At that time, they suggested an office lens which has a weaker section for computer and the lower area for reading.&nbsp; I tried it and instead used my old readers for the computer and newer ones for reading.&nbsp; I might stick with that.&nbsp; I found that like Claire, they were a bit of a pain to get used to and I preferred to switch.&nbsp; I might do that again.&nbsp; I also have a very small face so the larger lenses don't work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060380 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:35:04 +0000 Carla 1060380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 years ago I couldn't stand my bifocals, and ended up going back to an old pair of glasses. 2 years ago I got 2 sets of glasses: 1- for computer use only ( which I leave at work) and 1- that worked for far distance, driving, etc. </p> <p>2 months ago I got progressives with glasses that had a deeper lens for a greater range of gradation (and fab frames-thank you Angie and Fabbers). I LOVE my progressives, but I still use my computer glasses at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060287 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:53:15 +0000 Suz 1060287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting...my progressives work best for the computer! But they did ask me about it when I was getting my lenses. I mean he specifically said did I use a computer a lot. So there may be more "computer worthy" real estate? Hmmm.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope your experience is a good one, Dianthus.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for your outfit, the colours are so pretty on you! But did you notice that the photo is a wee bit blurry. Very appropriate given your destination.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060286 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:52:55 +0000 Anonymous 1060286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can take time for eyes to adjust to the progressive lenses, but I'm ok with mine. The only real problem comes when trying to go down a flight of stairs like stadium seating in a theater. Those lenses made it hard to judge where to put your foot, at least in my experience.<br /> Your blues are so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060279 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1060279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to apologize for raining on your parade re. the progressives. I'm so sorry dianthus. That wasn't very kind of me. Maybe I was just trying to save you the money!</p> <p>I wonder if other people have trained themselves to use them with a computer and maybe I need to force myself to wear mine through an adjustment phase. Anyway, good luck!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060255 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:30:13 +0000 Anonymous 1060255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? I love this! It's a great tonal outfit. And your shoes are&nbsp;<i>so&nbsp;</i>fly!</p> <p>PS I got my first progressive lenses this year and I find them annoying for computer work, unless it's just something quick (you have to keep moving your head around to keep the sweet spot over what you're reading)&nbsp;I keep a pair of 99 cent&nbsp;readers by my laptop at all times. They are great when I'm out and about, and for a smaller screen, like my phone. Strictly my opinion. YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060238 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:21:50 +0000 El Cee 1060238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice "bluesy" casual outfit. Colors are lovely. And I am all for comfort when it comes to appointments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-optometrist#post-1060231 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 20:17:01 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1060231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is time to get a progressive lens for reading and computer work so I am off to the optometrist.&nbsp; I wore the slim pants with the fly london shoes.&nbsp; Comfort is the key today.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; So much for my neutral tailored a la Claire look.&nbsp; LOL</p>
