Can't stand glasses, but my contact prescription has gotten to the point where I really can't hold my phone far enough from my face to read it clearly without squinting. So next time I'm in for an eye exam, I'm planning to inquire about multifocal contacts. Anyone here had experience with these?

I went from the Oakley Carbon Blade Plates(Bought two frames in six years.)
To the Rayban RB8415's: I couldn't be happier. Even though Luxotica owns all of these companies anyway. They also own the majority of big box eye glass stores like Lenscrafters. |

Wifey and I are considering a trip to Bermuda and I was telling her that she can snorkel with her contacts and a good mask. People do it all the time. She was wondering how she'd wear glasses while snorkeling and thought contacts would be out of the question. I don't see why there would be a problem with contacts.

Update: Picked up the glasses today. There is definitely going to be an adjustment period. In the past hour, I have walked in to the fender of the car, a door frame and damn near wiped completely out walking up 3 steps. I have also come to realize that I have been doing a shitty job shaving. I am completely enamored with the fact that I can see, but these progressive lenses have me a bit discombobulated.
Very happy with the frames. They are lightweight and very comfortable. |

I picked mine up yesterday, with the line. I'm thinking that I might actually prefer the bifocal area to be on the TOP of the lens. When I want to read something small (drug bottle, label on alcohol, etc) I am generally holding it below neck level, and already tilting my head down. That naturally changes my focal point to the TOP of the lens.
It was humorous, at least to myself: last night I flipped the glasses over just to see if this had merit. I know I can still catch a falling object with or without lens |

Four years later.....
Time for new frames. What's everybody's favorite style and frames? Had some Persol that I had my eye on and now they are discontinued. These are at the top of the list at the moment. https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/eyeglass...42?panel=false

Bought these from a consignment shop. Never seen anything like them and they are very comfortable/swank as hell.

First lesson you will learn like the rest of us had to - ordering from the Dr's office means you just paid 5 times more than you needed to. I did the same thing. Now I use online places and get great service and great options and don't worry about losing/breaking my $150-$500 glass they saddle you with. Get your eye exam, ask for your prescription, and shop away.

Told the lady that was assisting me that I'd look online and find frames that I liked. She instantly gave me her email address to send a link to so they could get them and then hit my inusrance....er, I mean sell them to me. Got on a few different web-sites and quickly saw how much cheaper stuff is online and I can virtually try on the frames...without a mask on....SOLD! |
