So why not make lenses more inline with your natural vision? When you read your head barely moves, your eyes to most of the moving. When I’m driving or mountain biking my head is pointing forward but my eyes do all the moving. Why must there be a tiny, tunnel vision sweet spot, why can’t lenses be made so that the sweet spot is the entire width of the lens? The biggest pain the butt is when my glasses sag down my nose and I’m having to move my head to see things clearly.
thank you, i just bought from warby parker, my first progressives and they did not explain it at all like this. I feel so much better now listening to this explanation. Thank you!!
Using progressives to read or work off my monitor was a no go. Having to move my head side to side rather than scanning a page without moving my head at all was just too difficult a transition. I stick to my reading glasses in those instances.
Progressives make every field of vision slightly worse than it should be! Stick to single vision and get reading glasses, save yourself the hassle of these absurd scam glasses
I got my first progressive lens glasses today. I'm realizing I do a lot of side eye that I have to train myself out of. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
As a first time premium progressive, who was shocked when I put my new lenses on today for the first time and went online to understand the adaptation process, thank you.
So... for 45 years of my life I've been using the muscles in my eyes to look at things NOT directly in front of me. When driving or especially riding a motorcycle, I don't turn my head to look at every single potential hazard, I monitor my peripheral vision and if something needs attention, I shift my eyes there because it's faster and then I shift them back. So now I have to un-train myself from that. When reading from a book or using a computer, I also scan my eyes left and right. With my progressive lenses, when I look at a sentence on my screen, if I can focus on the center of the sentence, the beginning and end are blurred, so now I have to scan my head left and right to use a regular 25" monitor? I find this whole thing absurd. I just paid more money for a pair of glasses than I ever have in my life before because they're supposed to make my life easier, and I was told that the more expensive lenses would be easier to get used to. Instead they've made life harder. The only time I'd ever probably use them would be sitting watching TV and switching to reading a book in my hand or my phone. How often do I need to do that? I've given these things over a week, watched every video I can find and forced myself to wear them as much as I can stand. Nothing works. At the end of the day they just seem utterly impractical for me. I don't know who they WOULD work for. I mean, who lives their life almost never using their peripheral vision?
I'm picking up my first pair of glasses ever in a few hours, and they're progressives. I am a little concerned for all the reasons you say. Like she says people move their chin left to right when they read. They do? wtf? For reading, my eyes move, not my head. When I drive my eyes jump around the scene constantly. Hopefully this is going to work out.
I just switched to progressive lenses 5 days ago. I have trouble using it while working in front of the computer. Thanks for the tips, I'll try those later while at work. 😁
In the UK and lasted literally 2 minutes with new varifocals yesterday. Awful things. Thankfully the optician had already agreed to regular lenses if I didn't like them. Far happier with regular for distance and just taking them off to read.
I've had my glasses re-done several times and no matter we tried, I have to pick up the glasses 1/2" to clearly read fine print. I can read normal print, but it's not crystal clear unless I pick up the glasses by 1/2" so I can read through the reading segment with the add-on.
I've never needed glasses in my whole life😳👁👁☺, but my wife got her very first pair yesterday. We agreed that for her to buy online would not be good. I helped her pick her frames at her optician's, and yes, she got a pair that makes her look awesome! I may not have a qualified opinion, but in MY naked eyes👀😍, she did the right thing!
I've never had or needed glasses😳👁👁, but my wife got her first pair yesterday, and they're progressives! She says they make her dizzy, but I tell her how cute she is wearing them. My little way to encourage her!.. In MY naked eyes😍, this video gives hope. I'll show her it if her difficulties continue. Thanks!😇☺😌
When should i start with the progressive lens? i think my vision is starting to get weird now. Old people eye syndrome 😅. I m short sighted with 150° degree lens,i have to take out my glasses to look at the phone or read.
I think you managed to make that quite confusing because you didn’t explain every process properly ! i.e. don’t put peroxide in your eye but the container neutralises the peroxide , very confusing . 😢
i bought mine from zenni, I do not feel that they are progressive... They are supposed to be but I do not see the hour glass and I do not see reading at all, no matter where I place my vision. This video is very knowledgeable, but I wonder if an online site did my progressive lenses correctly.
Got prescription eyeglasses for the first time last year, optometrist staff didn't explain any of this to me, and the frames didn't even fit right, and they were NOT cheap.
I have had mine for the first time at age 46 for the first time i was stryggling initially but i found while reading using the laptop subtle head movement is absoloute key to proper focus
@@EyecareOhio i think i might use some older reading glasses i ve laying around for the laptop. i am struglling to keep moving my head for focus not sure if i can get used to this.
@@EyecareOhio I had to switch back to my previous pair this morning lol was getting nausea after about 10 mins. I think I will simply get the lenses replaced with standard in the new Rx I may not be adaptable
I've had my progressive glasses for almost a year now, still getting use to it, at times still a bit blurry, never had adjustments to them, this video helps, thanks for sharing.
i have always been told that looking down on your monitor will cause next strain - you should alway look straight at it. saying that i did find the video informative. i am getting my first pair of varifocal next week, i hvae not worn glass before.
You should meet with your optician to review how your prescription is intended to work for you as it can vary depending on the person and the glasses intended use.
Definitely took me a bit to get used to my 1st pair of Progressive glasses. Driving I could see out great, but trying to see the dash, like my speed limit would be blurry unless I looked down thru the bottom of my glasses. Now that I've been wearing progressive glasses for a few years. They are comfortable for me. My last 2 pairs that I've purchased was online at a 1/3 of the cost & better quality have been great.. know your PD. Luckily my PD is on my Prescription.
Glad you've found success with progressives! Yes, knowing your PD is crucial when ordering online. If patients experience issues with online orders, we always recommend having your doctor's office or nearby optical check that the prescription, PD & Seg Height are correct before you panic! These measurements are very important to be sure that your prescription sits at the correct place in the lens, which is largely impacted by the frame & lens size.
This was very helpful, thanks. I especially appreciate the tips for the computer, because I work on one all day and was having trouble with it at eye-height. I will give your tips a try.
