Bifocals
There are none so blind as those who won’t wear bifocals.

Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the ‘head-tilt’ struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of infrared eye tracking and liquid crystal-transparent indium tin oxide glasses
An eyewear breakthrough by Finnish company IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the 'head-tilt' struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye.
Another #MechanicalKeyboard milestone: I have taken my failing #Microsoft4000 #ErgonomicKeyboard off my desk, leaving just my little DIY 36-key keyboard (and a vertical mouse).
This was actually prompted by my optician suggesting that as my close vision has deteriorated slightly, I should try glasses with a reading wedge (baby #bifocals) and the monitor lower down so I look at it through the lower part of the lenses. I need to sit straight now!
(Plan B is dedicated intermediate / #ReadingGlasses)
I had an eye exam a couple weeks ago. The optometrist recommended progressive bifocals this time. I'd known it was time for a while, so okay.
My employer's VSP plan only covers the basic lenses, ~$75. The lower distortion, anti-reflective coated Nikon lenses are ~$275. If I pick the Nikons, I pay the $200 difference out of pocket.
One thing the optician said is the longer I delay getting my first bifocals, the harder it will be to adjust to how they work. Is this true?

So, last week I had my eye exam, and as expected, it was recommended that I should get either reading glasses or bifocals.
I opted for bifocals, and specifically for the "transitions" style, and they came in yesterday and I have to say... boy howdy I do not like them. I'm trying to get used to them... but it's a struggle, to be sure. I did not realize how much I used my peripheral vision until I got these new lenses.
Welp, bifocals ordered. Guess my age is catching up to me. Going to be a while, shops which still work in #CrownGlass are becoming more rare. In the meantime, on the 'backups': mixed lenses and manytimes broken arms (which is why the logo is inverted and the far side one doesn't match).
