[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 603392, member: 3419"] Thank you all. How do they make these lenses? I'll have to look it up. At first I thought it was the outer rim, but now I think it's the entire lens. They work very well for distance and closeup in the daytime. In low light, I have to squint, and reading glasses help. I'm still thinking of going with them, because I tried a different lens in each eye many yrs ago (near and far) and couldn't even make it out of the dr's ofc, I was so dizzy and nauseated. This is much easier in regard to transition. And I was getting to the point of panicking if I couldn't find my reading glasses. I couldn't make calendar appts, use my cell, anything. Of course graduated multilevel glasses (3 levels, far, about 3 ft, and 11 inches) work well but I lose peripheral vision. I definitely want to keep my glasses as backup. I think this may be the next best thing to surgery. I'm too afraid to lose my sight. I only knew two people who have. For the man, who was about 30, it ruined his life. The woman was 80 and she was already retired and no longer driving, but it was still a bad transition. Mostly, the surgery is safe. But I don't want to be in the 1%. [/QUOTE]
