It's been ten years since my last eye test. My husband decided after watching me hold small print at arms length (embarrassing at a restaurant) that it was time to go again. Today I'm wearing my new glasses with no-line Bi-Focals. I feel so old. I can't see anything. That's not exactly true, I can see ... but if it's not directly in the center of the lens, it's blurry as hell! Assuming, of course, that hell is blurry. If you don't move your head, but try to look left or right it's all blur AND distortion.
I am thrilled that I can now read small print (or relatively large print for that matter) without wishing for longer arms. But the area for prime print focus is very small as well ... the width of a paperback is about all that will fit in the view in focus.
Can't turn your head too fast either - it gets all swimmy and you feel like you're looking out of a fish bowl. Everyone says I'll get used to it after about a week.
We'll see how I feel about them in a week.
