Subject: Progressives and Computer Use
Hello,

I wore progressives for the last 2 years.  I recently noticed that I need
newer lenses because I am not able to see street signs well anymore.  I had
my eyes checked and I bought another set of progressives.  With the new
progressives the edges of my computer monitor are out of focus, way out of
focus.  I understand this is because of the corridor.  I use the computer
all day long.  What should I do? If I buy 2 pairs of glasses I will lose one
pair the first day.

T.I.

Get a pair of single-vision computer glasses and attach a holder to your
monitor.  Try to remember to always put them there when you leave your
computer.  If you're far-sighted with no astigmatism, you might be able
to get away with cheap drugstore/dollarstore readers.

I now have 4 pair of glasses to keep track of:  indoor and outdoor lined
bifocals, reading glasses, and a pair of old bifocals whose 'distance'
setting is now exactly right for computer --> TV distance, an unexpected
bonus.  And then, of course, there's the old pair of reading glasses
that's good for car-repair distance.  And all the 99-cent readers of
various powers I use when I'm wearing my contacts...

Cheers,
Bev

Find out what brand, model, and lens material (we need all 3 of these)
you
have in your new progressives and post that info here. Also post your
old
and new Rx.

I would bet that your new lenses are polycarb material.

However, any time your Rx increases in strength, that makes it harder
for a
progressive to work well at all distances in the same lens, and does
make
the viewing areas somewhat narrower. Nevertheless, there are some
noticeable
differences in lens brand/model and lens material that could account
for
some of the difference. Or it just may be that the lens fitting was
done
properly on your new lenses.

Because he was noticing colored fringes?

I'm just wondering why you trace every problem back to polycarb.
