I had them for a day and brought them back and said, "these won't work." I was told, however, I need to give them time and be patient. Give them three weeks.
Okay. So seeing long distance is not an issue. I can see, too, my cell phone, and reading materials in my lap. The issue, as I tried to tell them, is my computer screen. I'm on the lap top a good 12 hours a day. With the new prescription, however, anything in this range is completely blurry. I can see letters in the middle of the glasses, but I can's read. It's blurry and like I'm inebriated. The strain on my eyes is tremendous.
They say, "Oh, give it time. Your eyes are adjusting."
I want to barf. It makes no sense how everything below and outward can be 100% clear, and everything directly in front of me is an absolute blur. To be told it is an aging eye adjustment is simply wonky. I don't believe it.
Anyway, I swore to them I will do a few more weeks to adjust and promised that I would keep the new glasses on and not resort to olds ones. Confession: there's no way I could see this screen in the new prescription, I had to put the old glasses on simply to see what I'm typing on the page right now.
Ugh. I love the frames. I just don't get the middle ground. Yes, looking down I can see. No problems. Yes, far away, I can see, and it's crisp. But looking in the immediate is a vomit-forming hallucination. I tell them, "This isn't working," and they respond, "it's an adjustment you need to get used to." What the hell?
I see as I see. I get aging. I don't get marketing for glasses (more $$$) that change the entire way I view the world. You're the the experts. I trust you. I love the frames, but this is insane.
And I'm totally wearing the old scripts so I can make this post. Wola! Evidence for the course. Trifocals. Crazy. I only need to see when I write and work on the screen. Yet, that is where they've blinded me.
