Ran into a friend today who is a cabinetmaker. He knows I'm remodeling my house so we got talking about this and that. I mentioned how much harder it is to do things now that I need bifocals and mentioned my pet theory that old folks don't fall or crash because of balance problems rather it's their bi (or tri) focals trying to kill them with changing focal lengths screwing you up. My friend wears bifocals also and showed me his glasses, he not only has close up correction at the bottom but also a band at the top. He said he's always got his head stuck in a cabinet trying to look up to put in screws and couldn't see what he was doing so he came up with this solution. Looked like a pretty cool idea but I'm sure it'd take a while to get use to. Anyway I thought it was interesting

I have an electrician friend who did the same thing so he could see the wiring overhead. I'd never drive with them tho

I still have some problems and may need a lazer touch up I hope. Driving glasses are ok and work fine. Then without any one foot or so is really good after that there is a little blur. Reading glasses maybe needed soon for the small print.
I only see from one eye and tried the progresive and had to change to straight lense drove me nuts lol. Will see the doc in March lets hope he can make it right.
