    ask them the price of regular bifocals. you might decide on the latter.
    good luck.

    age question? when i said im nearing mid 40s, the doctor told me at that age, my condition is normal...dun daw nag start lumabo ang mata...

    One expensive lesson I learned about progressives is you have to get the widest vision sideways and from a reputable shop, nag promo kasi ang The Optical Shop ng progressive using photochromic (i don't know the exact term but it was like that) Carl-Zeiss lens. Edi buy kami mag-asawa, and they assured us na sufficient na yung wide opening. tsk.. tsk.. ayun di namin nagamit, konting pitik lang ng mata mo wala na sa lens at warped na ang vision.

    Dr d meron pa ba gumagamit ng glass lens?

    Friend ko maselan sa eyeglassess. Dapat meron tatak. Pero sa eyeglasses mahirap madistinguish kung ano brand. Parepareha naman itsura . Tapos pag magdamagan nuod tv series makakatulog madadaganan kaya ayun ilan beses baluktot or putol. Minsan mauupuan pa.

    Important ano materials ginamit sa frame hindi brand

    Sir, the reason why they ask the age is because they can base the grade for reading glasses on the age. Usually, you'll need reading glasses at age 40 and grade would be around +100 to 150. Then it goes higher after a few years.
    Progressives aren't for everyone but there's only one way to find out, have them made and try them out. If you don't get dizzy, good for you [emoji51]

    Ive been using progressive+transition for 5 years now. Started using it when I turned 45. Need sometime to get used to it but if you wear it often, it will grow on you in a couple of days. First challenge is when going down a flight of stairs as the depth changes. Once you have adjusted, you will appreciate the benefits. No more taking off of glasses and you can tilt your head depending on the viewing distance since the transition of the focal length is very smooth, unlike the bifocal which has a fixed length.

    I hope my boss will like the report I prepared. He did not ask for it but I think he might need it

    hogwash!
    the age question is just small talk, if you ask me.
    the grade is determined using special equipment, not by age.
    and both eyes may not have the same grade.

    if you want wide sideways reading vision, get the executive lens.
    buong lower segment ng lens ay for reading.
    mabigat.. halatang halata.. but hey! executive ini!
    then, there is the floating half-moon. the reading lens is floating above the lower edge of the lens, affording long distance vision at the lowermost part of the lens, so you can see your toes. heh heh..
    some opticals can adjust just where the reading lens is.. higher.. lower.. just tell them your needs. but talk to your eye doctor also.

    you can ask the optical, where you can have glass lenses made, po.
    google the pros and cons of glass versus plastic lenses.
    nabasagan na ako ng glass lens. i prefer plastic, even as plastic is more prone to scratches.
