Got My Bifocals

I hope you get used to your new glasses quickly. I never heard of cataracts growing so quickly! Hopefully the next surgery will be your last!

Hope you get used to them real quick. Sorry to hear about the cataracts at least you can get them fixed by laser.

What you will be experiencing is a hazing of the surface of the artificial lens, which is not uncommon and just requires polishing off with a laser. I do not understand why glasses were prescribed prior to removing the coating because it impair the vision slightly and result in a wrong glasses prescription.

Congrats on finally getting your new glasses! Bifocals do take some time to get used to.

ohh sorry to hear some more are gtowing...I did not realise they grew that quick... I hope you soon get used to your new glasses

Hope you get used to your new bifocals quickly. Sorry to hear that future cataract surgery is required.

Some mixed emotions here. Happy to hear you got your glasses. Sad you have to continue with the cataract problems.

yes i know. too bad things turn this way so often. bad instead of the good we looked for.

So sorry that you have more cataracts.

is the second time around more successful in that case or?

I didn't know that new ones could develop, I guess that's something I should consider as a possibility if and when I'm eligible for that same surgery. I got my first bifocals when I was in my forties. I've had both the no-line type and the ones that show the lines. I tend to like the ones with the lines better mostly because then when I can't read fine print I know what part of the lenses to look through right away. A few years ago I requested trifocals and I now have them too. I adjusted quite quickly to those probably because I'd been using the bifocals for almost twenty years already. If you only need them for reading, then it will probably take you a bit longer to get used to them than it would if you had to wear the glasses all the time. But, that would negate the main benefits of having the cataract surgery in the first place.

Did the doctor recommend any eye health supplements @marlina ?

hope you get it soonest

So sorry to hear that. Glad you got your new glasses though.

Sorry, but you will adjust..and be glad to have those glasses

I got a progressive lens instead of a bifocal. My eye doctor recommended that because she said I'm usually working in front of the computer and it's best that i use progressive instead of a bifocal. And when I first had them, I had to take time adjusting to them.

I hope that you got the progressive bifocals, they don't take a lot of getting used to-except for the going down the stairs.

Oh no, I hoped that your cataract problem was over. Good luck with the new bifocals, it takes a bit of time to get the habit to the new eyeglasses.

Best of luck with those bifocals!

I too am going to need bifocals, I hope they aren't to hard to get used to. I am sick of the headaches behind my eyes here lately.
