Bespectacled Xennials, how hard was it to get used to progressive lenses?

[-]

frooootloops@reddit

I had good luck with both Zenni and Zeelool. Honestly I prefer my Zeelool glasses.

[-]

but_does_she_reddit@reddit

oh interesting I'll try them next time!

[-]

Traditional_Entry183@reddit

My wife has bought several pair that way.

[-]

atampersandf@reddit

I've been using Zenni for ~10 years, they've been fantastic for my relatively week prescription.

I will totally go with them when I need progressives (next exam 😭).

The only downside is that they discontinued my favorite frames in the past couple years.

[-]

draperyfallz@reddit

I'm on my third pair of zennis, love them. I got my first pair of progressives a few weeks ago, and I was reluctant of the quality but they seem fine.

[-]

worstnameIeverheard@reddit

The trick for me was to get bigger frames. They have the added bonus to making me look much cooler than I actually am.

[-]

MaddyKet@reddit

That does make a difference, even though I hate having bigger frames.

[-]

I did, too! But I realized that with my smaller frames the transition between the two prescriptions happened so fast that it was making me feel seasick. It doesn’t do that with bigger frames. I finally understand why little old ladies have giant glasses!

[-]

nitrot150@reddit

I tried, then went back in and got my distance only lenses back. I just take them off when I need to read my phone, like opposite reading glasses

[-]

Taupenbeige@reddit

I’ve been considering going correction-to-clear progressives because I’m tired of peering over the top of mine/flipping them to my forehead to read small text

[-]

nitrot150@reddit

Mine were clear in the bottom, stil had the same problem

Taupenbeige@reddit

Fuck it I’m just getting the implants 🤦 pigment dispersia syndrome be damned

20 years ago, my father asked his optometrist about bifocals. “They’re annoying. Stick with just taking your glasses off as long as possible.” He only recently gave up and switched.

[-]

Stop_Already@reddit

It took me a couple of days to adjust and I was this close to going to the pharmacy and picking up some Meclizine for the vertigo induced nausea when they just…clicked. My eye doc was pleased that I adjusted so quickly. I have odd vision and people with it tend to have difficulty, he said.

[-]

Healthy-Neat-2989@reddit

I’m still struggling on my 3rd year. But the woozy feeling went away after a couple of weeks. I miss my pre-45 eyes. My distance vision was crap but my eyes could handle single focus lenses.

[-]

caramelpupcorn@reddit

My eyes are already crap, are you telling me it's going to get worse in a few years? Nooooo!

[-]

ObligationJumpy6415@reddit

I’ve had glasses since I was six. Beginning of this year, 40 yrs later, my eyesight went to shit again. I can’t see up close anymore. Doing the trombone to hold things at a distance to read small print. 😣 giving in to the idea that I’m going to need to try progressives this year, and figure out what strength reading glasses I need for when I wear my contacts.

Eye doc told me it would happen, and he was right! Weirdest thing is, it happened overnight. One day shit was just blurry up close.

[-]

Healthy-Neat-2989@reddit

Sorry… yeah.

[-]

bikeonychus@reddit

I'm not there yet, but getting there. I'm doing the glasses-up and squinting style of reading some days.

I had decades of my parents complaining about them, so I think I might just have a separate pair of reading glasses, like I do with my sunglasses. I'm already carrying around my sunglasses, so what is another pair?

[-]

Brent_L@reddit

My wife doesn’t beleive me that my vision is excellent. But it is excellent. I’m very conscious of how often I need to take my eyes off of my computer screen.

[-]

OkNewspaper8714@reddit

I tried, and quit after a week. Went back to single vision.

[-]

Lawwife78@reddit

Maybe a week? I freaking love mine. I usually wear contacts and then have to deal with readers when my almost-47-year-old eyes won’t cooperate with closeup stuff, but the progressives are simpler.

[-]

Mcdiglingdunker@reddit

There is some difficulty getting used to swiveling your head instead of moving your eyes. I had the optometrist move the "reader" down as my eyes were at that level and constantly fighting to focus for driving. The focal points can be small with the lenses having a lot of out of focus area. Walking down stairs is mostly me trusting the stairs are equidistant rather than actually looking down at them. It's an adjustment, but it's cheaper than having multiple sets of glasses. If you have the possibility of Lasik, look into it

[-]

caramelcoldbrew@reddit

A couple of weeks but man, the bridge of my nose is paying the price. My glasses have to sit just so and it’s really aggravated my skin because I’m constantly pushing them into the correct spot so I can see.

Hate them but at least I’m not squinting so hard with tiny print up close nowadays.

[-]

Not_a_werecat@reddit

This will sound goofy, but get some eyeshadow primer and apply where they sit.

It keeps oils from accumulating and making them slide down.

I also swear by titanium nose pads. They're so much lighter and less irritating to my skin than the garbage plastic ones that come with glasses.

[-]

caramelcoldbrew@reddit

Thanks for the awesome tip! I’m dealing with suddenly oily skin due to peri so I hope it’ll work with my newly teenager-like complexion.

[-]

lifeuncommon@reddit

Go back to the eye doctor and have them adjusted so they sit in the right spot without sliding down.

[-]

Intelligent-Camera90@reddit

I just put my readers on over my glasses. When I told my eye doctor he laughed at me and told me progressives were an option, but if what I’m doing works….

I don’t mind looking like a doofus in the privacy of my own house.

[-]

juniper3411@reddit

Still can’t do it. I just have two pairs of glasses like a weirdo.

[-]

illprobablyeditthis@reddit

It took like 5 minutes. I've been wearing glasses since 4th grade. I held off like an idiot because I refused to believe i was "old enough for bifocals" and spent a year having to look over my glasses to use my cell phone 🙄

Theyre a godsend honestly. Get em if you need em.

[-]

Potential-Budgie994@reddit

I know I’m in the minority but I had no issues adjusting and loved them immediately.

[-]

Peanut083@reddit

I’ve been wearing glasses for reading and computer work since I was 17, and started wearing them full time when I was 25. A few years ago, I realised that the whole ‘eyes crapping themselves as you approach 40’ thing had happened to me. My optometrist suggested progressive lenses at the time, and I love them.

My husband has worn glasses full time for longer than I’ve known him and currently has seperate pairs for normal day-to-day wear and reading/computer work. Quite frankly, watching him deal with having to change glasses over, then losing track of where he’s put the ones he’s not currently wearing puts me off the idea of having seperate reading glasses.

[-]

vulchiegoodness@reddit

took a couple weeks, but its not bad. opt for the wider viewing area lenses.

[-]

mrsjetset@reddit

It was instant for me. I love them. I have heard that some manufacturers are better than others, but I don’t know what brand my place uses.

[-]

New_Stats@reddit

They're the fucking worst glasses, don't get them. Next prescription I'm going to get bifocals

The transition from near to far sided doesn't work

But if you already got them, and are wondering when the constaint eye strain will stop, maybe two or three weeks.

[-]

Frosty_Cloud_2888@reddit

I’m not there year but I’m very interested in this post

[-]

drrck82@reddit

Took me maybe 2 days. I spent the extra cash to get some that required you to look at lights in a tablet that take measurements of your eye position. They use that data to make lenses with better contours so you can still move your eyes when you read rather than moving your entire head.

[-]

superthighheater3000@reddit

I’ve had mine for almost a year and I hate these fucking things.

[-]

punkpcpdx@reddit

Like five minutes.

My wife "I've been wearing glasses my entire life...so.."

[-]

thepatientwaiting@reddit

Same! The eye doctor warned me it might take a while, I put them on and was like.... Why do people struggle? I also have been wearing glasses since I was 5, is it that people are now just getting glasses?

I also have an insanely high RX, does that have something to do with it?

I was THRILLED when I got them, I can finally read comfortably.

[-]

Yellow_Curry@reddit

Love em. Took me a day or so but the no line progressives are amazing.

[-]

UnknownCitizen77@reddit

It took me about two weeks.

[-]

Traditional_Entry183@reddit

I was hesitant to get them, no question. And even after wearing regular glasses every day for more than 30 years it was still a weird adjustment, but after a few weeks I totally forgot they were different and now they're great. Ive had them three years.

[-]

No_repeating_ever@reddit

Not too long. It was the prisms that were much worse for me.

[-]

Oye_Oso@reddit

Not difficult at all. I know some people have problems adjusting to them, but I didn't have that problem.

[-]

MissAngryBanana@reddit

Glasses were easy. Contacts, not so much. I still wear them on occasion, but you’re not going to get the same experience. In my case, I barely read worth a damn with my contacts but long-distance is fine.

[-]

malibuklw@reddit

My eye doctor just told me that my contacts are no longer for reading. Just for days when I’m going out. I miss the old days

[-]

Shejidan@reddit

I stopped wearing contacts because I couldn’t read in them anymore. I miss my contacts.

[-]

malibuklw@reddit

I stopped wearing them because they became really uncomfortable when I hit 42ish and my eyes started getting dry. I’m now 45 and asked my eye doctor about it. There’s a few contacts made for dryness that I’m going to try but I’m not sure if it’s going to work. At the very least I’d like to get some dailies for special occasions.

[-]

MaddyKet@reddit

I told mine I don’t want my contacts to be the same strength as my glasses. I will sacrifice some distance so I can see up close without it being blurry. I mainly wear glasses for work.

It didn’t take too long to get used to them, but they have to be bigger than I’d like to have enough room for the progressives.

[-]

ptatersptate@reddit

My eyes have taken a noticeable turn the past few weeks. The last time I was at the eye doctor he said we need to start talking about the “B” word and contacts are out. That was two years ago so, they’re coming. Very soon.

[-]

RainbowCakeSprinkles@reddit

I'd never worn any other glasses prior to getting mine 2 years ago. I got the most expensive ones and it was an interesting week or two when I first got them. But once the weird fun house mirror warping when I moved went away and my brain figured out depth perception again it was fine.

I do have to wear them all the time now though, if I don't I end up with headaches. I miss my pre-40s perfect vision.

[-]

Shejidan@reddit

I hate mine. The reading portion is so far down that I literally can’t use it without physically lifting the glasses or tilting my head up 45 degrees.

My closeup vision is still really good so whenever I want to read something I either wind up taking my glasses off—I’ve sat on at least two pair and fucked then up—or putting them on my head—only for them to fall off and sometimes fall to the floor.

[-]

canisdirusarctos@reddit

I still only have single focal length lenses and swap for computer work.

[-]

Lord-Megadrive@reddit

No problem getting used to them. Just need to remember to move your eyes through the lens rather than move your head.

[-]

owlandfinch@reddit

I tried progressives for a year, and hated them. Went back to a lined bifocal and am happy as a clam.

I started with lined bifocal in 3rd grade, and a new doctor suggested the switch to progressives 25-ish years after. Suffered through them until insurance would cover a new pair. I love my lines.

[-]

bingbingdingdingding@reddit

I loved mine out the box, but that was after hating my first pair for a couple weeks. I have been getting my glasses from Zenni for years. When I got the bifocal prescription I figured I should get them from the optometrist cuz they were more tricky. Well the optometrist wasn’t helpful in picking the right glasses for me and the premium progressive lens with the most comfortable viewing angles was prohibitively expensive. So even with insurance I spent almost $200 and the glasses came and were super uncomfortable. The near/far regions were always getting messed up and I hated them. So I went to Zenni, got their most premium progressive lens, spend $75 overall and have a seamless viewing experience.

[-]

After_Preference_885@reddit

I went back to old fashioned bifocals

[-]

chilisalt890@reddit

I haven’t made the leap yet but the day is getting close… I am constantly misplacing my glasses because I take them off to look at something up close 😆 My dr told me to hold off on progressives as long as I can 😬

[-]

MaddyKet@reddit

Mine said to get them now because I’ll need them eventually and might as well get used to them and that he (around the same age) has them too. I like them as glasses, but I just had to switch to a new doctor who is trying to give me contacts that make things fuzzy close up. I was like nah I’ll take the option of a lower power so I can see everything normally when I’m in contacts.

[-]

OrangemanGary@reddit

I ordered my first two pairs of progressives about a month ago. I spent about two weeks with the first pair and was moderately unhappy. Went back to pick up the second and I adjusted pretty much instantly. I told the guy and apparently the first pair was mid-aligned. They tweaked them, and they are now much better, but still not nearly as easy as the second pair.

[-]

mistypee@reddit

I’ve always worn contact lenses for distance vision. I cannot wear glasses regularly without getting vertigo. My optometrist is trying to get me to switch to progressive glasses, but it’s never going to happen.

My solution so far has been to continue with my regular contact lens prescription for distance and to use cheapo reading glasses as needed for fine print. It has been working great!

Progressive contact lenses are getting better. So hopefully I can switch to them at some point and avoid ever having to wear glasses full-time.

[-]

Norwester77@reddit

Still taking my glasses off to read.

I just got multifocal contacts, and they seem to be working out OK.

[-]

SpaceCadetEdelman@reddit

Haha I am avoiding them.. just use my phone to see/read small things.

[-]

queendweeb@reddit

I was unable to adapt to them and have separate glasses for reading and mid/distance. I have a severe astigmatism and suffer from migraines, it's a non-starter for me.

[-]

Few days, I guess. It really wasn’t bad.

Moof_the_cyclist@reddit

Took a solid month or so before they didn’t weird me out. I think I’d rather have done simple bifocals for my mild prescription, but was talked into it.

[-]

redcurrantevents@reddit

Took me a week or two to get used to them, and now they only come off for showers and sleep.

[-]

StevieNickedMyself@reddit

Refuse. I just take my glasses off to read things that are close up now.

[-]

teriKatty@reddit

My first set was alright but I think they f’ed up this last pair because I have to adjust my glasses constantly and it gives me a headache. 🫩

[-]

ChannelPure6715@reddit

Took a few days only

[-]

NakedSnakeEyes@reddit

It wasn't hard. But I got expensive ones that claimed to be extra easy to adjust to. I don't feel like I ever use the middle distance, but my optometrist said I probably use it without realizing.

[-]

OldJames47@reddit

When I got them there were two layouts to how the distance zones were arranged on the lens: one that prioritizes close up, and standard.

I got the close up since I work at a desk all day, but got the standard as sunglasses while I’m driving.

The close up ones work everywhere and give me no issues. Switching to the others makes the world feel “wrong”.

[-]

sykojaz@reddit

Not long at all. I bought a cheap set online to see if I liked them, and they've been great. My wife hates hers though.

[-]

Vargen_HK@reddit

Took a couple of months to get used to the distortion in my peripheral vision. I'm still not the biggest fan of them and am seriously thinking about going back to dedicated reading glasses. I do like how they line up with the windshield and dashboard in the car, though.

[-]

CSWorldChamp@reddit

As a 20/20 vision haver my whole life, needing reading glasses is hitting me hard.

[-]

GreatGlassLynx@reddit

Not hard at all. A day or two to adjust and now I love them. I wish I’d gotten them sooner!

[-]

tracefact@reddit

My doc recommended them early on. Said it was easier to get used to them when the scripts were relatively close rather than waiting til later when there was a more noticeable difference. Made sense to me.

Wore them full time for a couple weeks with no noticeable issue. Generally wear them for any screen time (computer/tv) or close-up activities but not whilst walking around or driving. At least not yet…

[-]

frooootloops@reddit

three-one-seven@reddit

I turned 41 earlier this fall. From birth to 40 and 11 months I had perfect vision. I went to the eye doctor and now I have glasses. It was weird at first but my wife digs the glasses so I’m good with it. I’m basically used to them now. Not sure what progressive lenses are but I don’t think I have those.

[-]

Quinalla@reddit

I sometimes forget to move my head properly when I am tired, but otherwise no issues. Got used to them quickly. That said, I may just switch to real bifocals next time I need a new prescription.

[-]

aspect-of-the-badger@reddit

I've always assumed I'd get reading glasses instead of bifocals. Thankfully my nearsightedness is better than 20/20 so I haven't had to cross that bridge yet.

[-]

marmot1101@reddit

Get em early. I had no problem because it’s such a small difference.

[-]

Stompedyourhousewith@reddit

Maybe the problem is specific to me, but if I'm in my recliner watching TV, my line of sight goes through the bottom part, the close part when I'm trying to look at something far away. Makes me want to get a pair of glasses just for TV

[-]

Mother_of_Kiddens@reddit

They told me it would take a week or so but by the time I walked out to my car they were second nature. My poor tired eyes needed them so badly. Love them so much.

[-]

Aggressive-Oil-4125@reddit

I used to work in an optical lab. It is highly personal and can be tough to find the sweet spot. There are people who love them and get used to them quickly. There are others who will never adjust.

There are some tricks like using a dry erase marker to draw a line in to help train your eyes.

The other thing is your line of vision may have been calculated wrong and you need an adjustment. Take that up with your doctor.

Personally I’m at a stage where switching from readers to regular glasses is still feasible and I’m enjoying getting to play with different frames. I have already accepted that I will be a line bifocal person because I get motion sickness pretty easily and I feel like finding the right focal point will be a nightmare.

[-]

Significant-Kale-463@reddit

Not as bad as I expected. Maybe a week or so and it was second nature.

[-]

ObscuraRegina@reddit

I really don’t regret getting Lasik. I do still have to wear reading glasses, but I don’t cry as much over breaking a pair of those compared to the $1k plus I’d spend on the progressives

melvinmel@reddit

I went with big oversized frames with progressive lenses and it's 🎶 a whole new worldddd 🎵absolutely love them.

Normal glasses with my vision and then adding readers to them caused really bad headaches and nausea.

Contacts and readers work well together but I catch myself doing that "look over the glasses so you can see" move and well.. You can't do that in contacts.

[-]

DrewBaron80@reddit

I got my first progressives a couple years ago. Took me a couple years to get used to them. However, a year later I got my first pair of prescription sunglasses, but they are just distance glasses. I LOVED (still do) wearing the sunglasses; basically didn't want to take them off and go back to the progressives.

So the next time I went in for an eye exam I told them I just want distance glasses, no more progressives for me. My rationale was that if I enjoy the distance sunglasses so much surely I'd prefer distance regular glasses.

BIG MISTAKE

Having to take my glasses off to read just about anything is super annoying. I can't wait to get progressives again, but my insurance only pays for lenses once a year.

[-]

zielawolfsong@reddit

I gave up on them. I have a tendency towards vertigo and a strong prescription, so the blurriness on the sides was making me dizzy and nauseous. Fortunately the lab had a guarantee to remake them as regular distance lenses if I couldn't get used to them, so I just went back to switching glasses all the time.

[-]

[-]

Mondoweft@reddit

I've had multifocals for about 20 years now. It took about a week to get used to them, and about a year for me to prefer them over my previous single vision lenses. The biggest thing for me is that they stopped the deterioration of distance vision I was getting, and I had the same script for well over a decade.

But I'm over 40 now, and last week I just got a script update. New multifocals will be here in about a fortnight.

[-]

arcxjo@reddit

Wasn't. PRK.

[-]

karenmcgrane@reddit

I resisted getting them for years because I was worried about the adjustment period, getting migraines, being dizzy.

Basically effortless. Maybe one day of slight vision disturbance and then it’s like I’ve always had them. I wish I’d done it sooner.

[-]

SalukiKnightX@reddit

I had bifocal when I was younger. My optometrist then recommended a straight forward prescription by the time I got to college. It wasn’t until my past trip did I get recommended again for progressive lenses (with a transitions layer to help with light sensitivity).

[-]

Puzzled_Loquat@reddit

I only wear them in the evening or early morning before I put my contacts in. I was worried they would make me dizzy and nauseous but they don’t.
