Yes to lined bifocals. As for the big adjsutment, I know it will be tough because 15 years ago I got my first pair of glasses with a much milder correction and everything was slanted, nothing looked square, I was practically staggering around. I stopped wearing them after a short while, prefering the soft fuzzy look. Now the soft fuzzy look has become passe.

Just say no to chain stores. I like the doc, I like the service, what's 20 bucks more here and there? I ordered the bendy twisty frames, something flex, lined bifocals, and some really stealth antiglare program.

$355. for the whole thing, not including the exam. $99.

I've no idea if I've been had. It seems like a lot of money, but I don't do this very often.
