No line bifocals

J_9 · Oct 16, 2009, 04:19 PM

Well, I just finally got my no line bifocals....yes, I'm officially an old lady now.

How long will it take to adjust to them? I also can't seem to use them when on the computer. Is this part of the adjustment process also?

Yes, adjustment time varies per person/length of glasses use/everyday life...

Did you put them on as soon as you got them? It usually best to put them on first thing in the morning when your eyes and brain are well rested. That way you can easily adjust to them throughout the day.

Wearing them using the stairs may be tricky for the first few days. It may seem as if the stairs are coming back at you. Just hold on and get used to it.

Also driving might not be the best idea wearing them the first day or so. It would be best to wear them all day (after rest) around the house or work...

Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding your progressives/no-line bifocals/blended lenses.

Actually I DID put them on as soon as I got them around 4 this afternoon.

So are you saying I should take them off and start fresh in the morning after sleep?

My eyes are really hurting as well as my head.

Take them off now!!! Give your eyes a rest!! Wear them starting in the morning, like CM said, and take them off again if you get a headache.

Once I had to have my lenses reground because the lab goofed up on the prescription.

That's exactly what you should do...

Okay they are off now. Won't put them on again till in the morning.

So, I should take them off when I get a headache? And how long before I should put them on again?

ok, glasses off, that fuzzy thing in front of you is the key board.

also remember that with bi focal, you are having to learn to do things like tilt head to see out of bottom part to read things at some angles.

Also I found that, at least with my vision, those things about 2 or 3 foot out are not always focused in either, reason I went to a tri focal latter.
