Progressive Madness


Lately I've found myself juggling four different pairs of glasses: one pair of trendy super-cute frames with progressive lenses for the in-denial over 40 presbyoptics like me; one pair of not so cute but more practical progressive lenses; one pair of glasses for "mid-range" computer work that are WAY better for reading than either of the progressives; and a pair of sunglasses with progressive lenses that require at least 5 minutes of adjustment time.

It's driving me CRAZY. It's making my purse weigh a ton. Maybe I'd be better off with contacts and reading glasses.

Truly, there must be a better way. Today I'm off to my optometrist to seek it. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: So here's the new plan: soft contacts with some adjustment in strength on one eye for reading (but not monovision) plus prescription reading glasses keyed to the contacts. Love the contacts so far!! Hooray!! One pair of glasses is so much better than 4.
