My recommendation is to not worry about the price at all. You are going to use these more than almost anything else you'll buy this year. Get the best pair for you. A year from now you won't think about how much they cost but you will be reminded every day if you cheap out.
Solid advice. Do you wear bifocals or progressives? I'm a little curious how people feel about one vs. the other, although it seems like a no-brainer to go with progressives.
Progressives.
With bifocals there are two focal lengths. If you want to read something, you look through the bottom of your lens. If you are driving then you look through the top of your lenses. Anything that is not distant or 18” inches away is a compromise. With progressive lenses the tilt of your head can let you easily focus on any point from 2’ feet away, to 5’ away, to 10’, 20’, you get the idea. Because you are looking at mid-distance objects through a more natural-for-that-distance lens, there is less strain and headaches.
I don't know what this means. At near distances progressives gives a wider field of vision? What does variation in distortion in the distance portion mean? I would think bifocals would have less distortion because you're either looking through the near portion or the distance portion. With progressives I imagine there are fuzzy zones between near and far.
How old am I?No, typically at near a bifocal offers a slightly wider field of view. And you're right yes, bifocals typically have no distortion in the distance part of the lens. Some particularly the older style progressives had noticeable distortion in the distance portion particularly peripherally. Although a lot of the newer designs are ground so much better that the older ones that the distortion are minimal.
Also i'd like to point out you're old af
I'm seriously confused. That's all I can say.
Yes, I wear scleral rigid gas permeable contacts.
WTF
