Being an official Old Lady I'll let you in on my secret to how I solved this problem.
I had the no line bifocals and kept walking into walls so I took them off and put them in a drawer to collect dust and dirt.
I now have my Driving the Car glasses which has my prescription for seeing objects far away. I'm nearsighted of course.
Then I have my other set of glasses. These have 2 different prescriptions in. One is so I can see the computer monitor. The other is so I can see the keyboard or read a book. I wear my second set all the time unless I am driving. This way I don't walk into walls. And no, they are not the no lines, but the second set has lines.
Both of my glasses are the exact same style. The only difference is the driving frames are black and my computer glasses are gold and have lines.
You just might be one of the lucky(?) old folks that need THREE different lenses. And I used to make fun of my mother who did the same exact thing I do now. Be careful what you make fun of.

Twinkie, I don't understand your sentiments here. I just reported that the glasses are working beautiful for me. Why would I need three different lenses if the ones I have are working fine?
Chi, thanks for your help. Waiting until waking and my eyes were fresh, oops gotta put the glasses on, I woke up 1/2 hour ago, seems to have been the answer for me. I'm really loving my glasses, they are so lightweight I even forget I am wearing them.

J-9 Thought I'd share what I do just in case down the road you DO have problems with the bifocals. I don't like the nolines ones. I don't have to hide the fact about wearing old folks glasses.
Glad to hear that your glasses are working out though. I just included my scenerio in case someone else came along and was reading this thread and even though they tried the wearing the glasses first thing and it didn't work for them they might try my solution.
Odd, but if push came to shove I can actually drive my car with my computer glasses but I can't drive on the interstate very fast - just drive a mile or so locally.
Thanks for clearing that up Twink....I thought I missed something. LOL
As I said, this is now day 2 with the glasses and no problems whatsoever. Reading fine print on my medication labels is still a little tricky, but that will come with time, patience and practice.
