Adapting to Progressive lenses & what are those marks on the lens
People ask all the time how long does it take to get use to their new lenses, here is a video to explain a few things about adapting to progressive lenses
Nice to find you on the web... I just got my first pair of progressives and I HATE them with a passion... I'm so used to my trifocals (over a decade with them) and bifocals before them. These things have less than a magazine column clear reading vision... the edges are blurry and it's awful to try to read with them.
To add to the problem, I'm in Mexico and the opthalmologist who did my exam and sold me my new glasses said they don't make trifocals in Mexico (is he telling the truth? I don't know) and said if I can't get used to them in a couple of weeks, he will remake them into Bifocals -- well, I need that intermediate vision that the trifocal lens provides but don't want to keep an expensive pair of glasses I can't even see properly with. I'm sooooo frustrated! What are my real options besides flying back to the US just to get decent glasses? He will not give me a refund, only the option of keeping these (he did recheck my rx and said it was good, but I don't know if he checked the lenses with his machine or not to see if the lab goofed). Thanks for your video, it was helpful & informative.
It has been very interesting video but I think this man talks to us since his own perspective, actually I've known a lot of people who haven't had those issues, I'm one of those people.

Hi Ben,

That frame looks pretty nice, maybe it is time for me to switch to this new era of small frames.
