[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never got used to progressives and I've had four different pairs of glasses for many years: true close distance glasses, which I keep at home for when I'm actually reading books; computer/mid distance glasses; distance glasses for driving at night and distance sunglasses. That's a lot of glasses to carry around, but it is what it is and I'm used to it, and I never have to deal with getting dizzy because of the progressives.[/quote]

OP here. I think this might be what I'll be. I think I'll mind getting dizzy more than carrying multiple pairs of glasses.[/quote]

I'm the four-pair PP. A tip for when you get reading or progressive glasses made is to spend some time measuring the distance between the bridge of your nose and what you're actually reading, and ask the ophtho to prescribe for that.

I think one reason progressives never worked for me is the glasses were making assumptions about what I was reading at what distance, I don't actually have a life where I look demurely down at a book and then look up and need to see far away. I'm much more likely to be looking at print and screen side by side straight ahead. That, plus extreme sensitivity to motion sickness![/quote]
