    That sucks, Are they sure you got the right prescription? Have heard some have had issues with getting wrong lenses....

    I tried the progressive and just couldn't get used to them. Went back to standard lenses and a set of readers for home. Bifocals for work...........

    I will be going back on Monday. I have had progressive lenses for 4 years now since needing bi or tri focals and the previous ones did not have this problem. I can deal with the side effects of progressive, but I need a wider focal point for the computer.

    Same here on the peripheral vision. My first day with these lenses was really weird but that part went away-I guess my brain is use to dizzy and adjusts to it :rofl: :lol:.

    Its the focusing on a computer screen and reading something at about 1.5-2 feet away that is irritating me.

    COLD IN HERE this morning.

    Thought we were done with the big stove, ahhhhh, guess not.
    Fired the big Whit off about half an hour ago,

    64 F in the shack this morning. Brrrrrrrr.

    Most of the early part of this week was very warm to hot and we were running the AC

    Now April decided to come back with a vengeance.

    We had our July Weather in April this year.

    Maybe we are going to have a "Juneuary" :whistle:

    :rofl: :lol:

    My pre concert beverages has changed to coffee :emb:

    The venue in Manchester NH (Verizon Wireless) has the worst crowds in the world. No energy from the crowd is a let down to the performers and they get nothing to feed off of. It really sux there.

    The older musicians like Trower dont generally need that though likely because its past their bed time too and they are just really happy to still be up there :p

    Worse even while driving. You want to glance down at the speed, time, radio etc. you have to move your head in that direction instead of just moving your eyes. Hate it also but it seems to come with age. Even worse when backing up the car. Only so far I can turn my neck without turning my back also.
