I've had no-line bifocal glasses for many years, now. It took me a matter of a few days to adjust to them. But, I'm extremely near-sighted and have a lot of astigmatism.
I'm sure that it's an individual thing as far as how long it will take to adjust. Plus, it might also make a difference if the person is near or far-sighted, as concerns the adjustment period.
Frequently, I'm around a lot of older musicians. They usually have bifocals. They're constantly taking them off in order to read music. Sometimes, they put on other types of glasses that are just for reading in order to do that. I haven't gotten to the point of having to use another pair of glasses just for reading.
I also have hard contact lenses. One is for near-vision and the other is for far-vision. I like them much better than the glasses because my vision is so much better using them. It will get to the point though, where I'll eventually just have to wear glasses because the prescriptions for each contact will be so far apart, that the only way to see well, will be to use glasses.
As far as using your bifocals while using the computer, you should be able to notice a difference by the way that you tilt your head. You might just have to undo an old habit and make a new one!
How is your sight while using the computer, if you don't use the glasses, please?
My sight while using the computer is fairly well without the glasses. Unfortunately, most of my work is done in the dark and on a computer. Night shift L&D nurses work quite a bit in the dark as most of our patients are sleeping and we do our charting on a computer at their bedside.
So far I'm experiencing a major headache and have to keep taking my glasses off. I do, however, notice a difference in the farsightedness (I am nearsighted as well) and colors seem to be more vibrant.
I have computer glasses that I cant use for anything else.
If I tried to read with them,I am blind.
They are MY COMPUTER glasses(in caps because when I lose them I go crazy)
and I don't understand it myself.
They are a much lower number and so my suggestion would be get a lower reading glass thing,see if that works or just stay with what works on the comp.
Thats all I can do !
I work in a library (perusing shelves up and down) and do cataloging (detailed work) at a computer, and had very little trouble adjusting. In fact, I was amazed at how much clearer and easier it all was. The eye doctor was very careful though where the bifocal line went on the lenses, so I wouldn't have to keep removing my glasses when going between near and far vision.

Gees ,I pressed something before I had a chance to finish.
I suspect it is something akin to night blindness.
I can not watch TV in a room without light.
Can you?
That puts a strain on the eyes I think,at least for me it does.
Your a nurse,you will be fine ,you know how to fix things.
Have you seen Mercy? I like it,I also liked Jackie but its over with now.
I will have to see how it works tomorrow night at work. I've only had them for a few hours now, so I'm still trying to get used to them. I don't seem to have the problems going up and down stairs like they told me I might.
Maybe it's just because I haven't put on real prescription glasses in over 8 years (I was taking a medication that had the side effect of clearing my vision, but I'm not taking that anymore).

It sounds like it will just take a little time to get used to them. Perhaps I should send you a pea-green t-shirt to help relax you?
in my crazy little world.
