My advice is to go to the lenses that don't have any line at all. I switched
about 5 years ago and hope I never have to go back to regular bifocals.
It took about a month to get used to them but now I feel as if I can see
everything. Actually I can't. The way the lenses work, I point my nose
(that's what the directions said to do) at what I want to look at and I'm
looking through the right part of the lens. My periferal vision is a little
fuzzy but I'm used to it. I originally made the switch because as a
weaver I was having trouble seeing the middle range of my warp. What
a surprise when I discovered I could now also see music and my harp
strings at the same time! Cam MacRae

Hi. If you have perfect vision or are under 40, go ahead and delete now!

For the rest of you, can anyone give me some help? I am reaching that
age
where bifocals are beginning to loom. Yes, that print is getting smaller all
the time! Anyway, I can see that this could be a big issue where the harp
is
concerned. I wear glasses already, because I'm really nearsighted. But
now I
have trouble seeing my treble strings - a bifocal might help this. But how
about seeing music on a stand - should I just jump in the deep end and go

straight to trifocals? Any suggestions based on your experiences would
be
welcome. I know my optometrist is not a harp player, so I'd like to go in
with
some ideas as to what might work best!

Thanks everyone!
