I have a 300-foot driveway to back up every morning. So I get in the car, twist my body around and push my bifocals down to the end of my nose so I can look over them. I’d rather back up one blurry driveway than to decide which one of the clear driveways to back up.
The problem with bifocals is unless you point your nose directly at something it isn’t in focus. Everything off to the side is distorted.
I was taught to scan by moving my eyes and not my head. I had a lot of adjusting to get used to. With as fast as I read, if it’s a full-sized book with print across the page, I get dizzy whipping my head back and forth.
Actually, I use the bifocals only for driving. I use single-vision for reading and the computer and have yet another set of glasses to watch TV (which I frequently do while in a horizontal position).
