Before I got my first pair of progressives lenses I saw a lot of conflicting anecdotal accounts. After doing research, the conclusion I came to was simple: I got the very best progressive lens that Lens Crafters sells because the best lens has a much larger intermediate “corridor” size than less expensive progressive lenses. I have had zero issues with my progressive lenses. I forget I even “have” progressive lenses at all!

By asking to talk to only those who have problems, you could be self selecting for a population who may not help you actually solve your problem, even if they mean well.

This is just my experience of course. When I did my initial research, I asked a question on Blind about progressive lenses. Lots of people said they have progressive lenses and they have zero problems.

If I was forced to guess, I would say that some (or maybe even all) of these folks who start talking about the computer glasses……it makes me wonder if they simply under-bought their lenses. Yes glasses are expensive. Getting a better lens will cost more. Yes yes, the Luxotica this and that. I don’t care about any of that crap. All I care about is getting the best lens possible and so should you!

Do what I mean!
