The eyes have it : - )

[John Ross]

I found that I had to go back to bifocal, after trying the transitional.
The reason, in my mind anyway, was that with the latest designs, there  
is not enough room for the transition. I found that the reading part  
seemed to be at the very edge of the lens, and hard to use.
The seller of the glasses, said that I should wear the transitional  
lenses full time, and I would get used to them. For the most part, I  
don't wear glasses at all, except for driving, and TV. Sometimes for  
reading.
I went back to bifocal and am well pleased.
I also have single vision polarized for driving.
