my eyes hurt when i read and use the computer. i have reading glasses; i got my eyes examined today, and i need stronger ones. apparently, in addition to my far-sightedness, i am now slightly near-sighted as well.
the choices are these:
a.) keep on with reading glasses like i have now (which i need a stronger prescription for) and use them for reading and computer work, etc.
b.) get bifocals with a weak far away prescription in addition to my up-close prescription and wear glasses all the time
things to consider:
- it is cheaper to get a whole new set of glasses than it is to get just new lenses and use the frames i already have
- bifocals are more expensive, on the whole
- i can still see fine driving and such... when the dr. put on the glasses machine at the store with my far away prescription, things were crisper but it wasn't a monumental difference.
i vote for the reading glasses until i need the far-away scrip - the doc said it's not mandatory, but then told me to go have someone help me look at bifocals.
what say you?

okay, so this is literally the blind leading the no-so-blind, but I would recommend going with the all-the-time glasses, for the simple reason that straining your eyes to drive will make them even weaker. you don't think of it as strain now, but it is.
plus, all the cool kids have glasses.
