It's time, I no longer feel comfortable driving in the dark. I'm 75, near sighted, been wearing classes since I was 10 years old. Used to have great up-close vision w/o glasses, not so great anymore. Currently wearing progressive lenses.
So the question is which lens option to go for. I do a fair amount of upclose work - inlay, engraving, carving - use Optivisors for that stuff.
My doctor (great reputation) recommends correcting for distant vision, the opposite of what I've always had. He also suggests the multifocal lens with astigmatism correction if I can afford it. I asked and he said there is no downside to that choice, and would recommend it to everyone if insurance covered it. I'm not inclined to cheap out with my eyesight, but ONLY if it's really worthwhile.
Wondering what people's experience has been?
