    No line bifocals

    Well, I picked up my no line bifocals today. Any advice? I’ve heard lots of horror stories.

    I have some and I also wear contacts.

    Wear contacts about 90% of the time.

    When I wear my glasses, I like them! I just prefer contacts.

    It usually takes 2-4 weeks to get used to them.

    First week, you may need to start wearing them for 2-4 hours at a time, and then go back to old glasses for a few hours.

    After a while, it will be normal.

    Takes about 3-5 days to get fully accustomed to them. I've been wearing them for years, great stuff.

    Got mine last year. Takes a day or two to get used to but there’s no horror stories from me. You seriously can’t tell and it’s nice not taking your glasses off to read, at least for me it is.

    Love mine. Just wear them for a while and if your eyes get tired, take them off. You'll get used to them quick.

    Don't move your eyes up & down or your might get Vertigo. Keep your eyes fixed and move your head up and down or you will get swim effect. Fell in the Upper Bay when I got mine about 20 yrs ago; 55 deg water is cold and I set a record getting in over the bow.

    Biggest thing you'll notice is you can see the front sight clearly again. They'll seem awkward at first but after a couple days you will wonder how you got along without them.

    I gave up trying to get used to them. I see fine up close so I just take off my glasses when I am working up close of on the computer.

    You'll get used to them pretty quickly, don't worry.

    Can't stand mine. Sorry, odd man out.
    I feel like I look straight in the middle and don't get the benefit at all.....maybe all in my head but now feels like eyes are progressively worse than before.....Almost a year and still haven't changed my mind.

    Hope you have better luck.

    I wore mine right away after I got them with no issues at all. My wife still hates hers even after 4 years. Hopefully they work out for you.

    Point your nose at whatever you’re looking at. Takes a few days to adapt, piece of cake after that. Oh, they suck for playing golf!
