I got progressives last summer and I had to relearn a couple of things (point of focus when walking up or down stairs was the biggest one) and I absolutely love them now. It took a little while to get used to them (maybe a week), but they go on my face and stay there now. :) The only thing I haven't been able to get to work right for me is playing the piano. Changing focal range for reading music and glancing down at the keyboard and back to the music again is really rough. I will probably have to get a single focus pair of glasses for that activity.

Thanks for all the encouraging responses! It's been almost a week and I am getting used to them now. I think it's funny that almost no one has noticed that I have new glasses, but several people have said..."I never knew you had blue eyes!" I have VERY blue eyes..but I don't think you could see them behind my thick black rimmed Madame Librarian glasses...lol.

I thought I noticed new glasses but couldn't say anything at the moment. Then, of course I forgot about it when I actually had a chance. Yes, I too am aging and need to get bifocals. I've been putting off this year's optometrist appt because of that. I can still make do very nicely by taking my glasses off to read but it's almost constant! I share in your agony, so you're not alone!!
