I had more problems getting used to the no line lenses so I've stuck with the others for a number of years. Might have to give the no lines another try. BTW, I'm into the tri-focal club now. Many adjustments as we age but if it keeps us quilting I'm all for it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I don't even know what they do for bifocal wearers in regards to contacts.
anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You'd have to talk to your eye doc about the contacts. They do have a multifocal for bifocal people....just need to ask you eye doc.

Talk to your eye dr. My contacts are such that one lens is for distance and the other is for close up. Your brain pulls them together and makes the adjustments. My vision isn't as great with them as it is with glasses, but close enough.

They now have this multi focal bi focal lens. It's been advertised on tv quite a lot. I have to make another eye appt and when I do, I'm going to ask about those.

The no line progression eases the transition into the bifocal area. Bifocals have improved in the last few years so give them a new try. I have noticed that looking right to left with my eyes and not moving my head makes objects out of proportion. Now a dental check up this week. Wonder what that will bring? Always something. :?

ditto! only take them off to go to bed, and always put them on bedside table. My doctors office, takes you to pick out frames, while your eyes are dilated...no prices. Mine were 400.00! that's a lot here. Will be wearing these, when the cows come home. :D
