One person I used to know didn't like the way the bifocals divided their vision, so they wore both contacts & glasses. If I remember correctly, they wore the contacts all the time for the distance vision, and then could put on reading glasses when needed.

And, if you get tired of your options with glasses, the eye surgery is always an option as well.
It is amazing what they can do with glasses. He said they might fix my eyes and I won't have to wear glasses forever, but usually people have already grown out of this problem by my age, like, 5 years younger than me So I might be stuck with this issue forever. He did mention I could get contacts and just use my glasses for reading. If I have to wear glasses forever I will strongly consider it!

That amazing that you are legally blind without your glasses! I'm so glad glasses help you!

1286293]Cute pic!! The glasses look good IMO. It is also cool that they could grade them. That would have been a concern of mine also. I can imagine they will take some time to get used to but at least you can see. Luckily my vision is perfect but my wifes is horrible. She wears contacts. I couldn't imagine not being able to see clearly on my own. It has to be very tough!!!![/QUOTE]

Thank you! I was SOOO thankful they could grade the bifocal part! You're very lucky! I'm not sure what exactly the issue with my eyes is called, but my muscles work so hard to focus up close they can't let go when I try to focus far away. It takes me several minutes to regain my vision after reading or using the computer. Since I'm a college student and my major requires me to read research papers everyday you can imagine how difficult this eye issue has been for me!
