Glasses!

[piplover]

I haven't worn glasses since I joined the Army, since there was no way in hell I was going to wear BCGs. After squinting at the boards in class for the past several months, however, I decided to finally get my eyes checked again. The doc told me I had to get bifocals, so I was like, ok, no problem, I just want to see the board in my classes.
Well....I got my glasses today. And the bifocals are totally worthless. The top part is fine, I can see better and I know that once my eyes adjust I won't be squinting at everything. But the bottom part is crap. Everything is blurry if I look down too far, and when I tried reading a book it was just too blurry. This really pisses me off since I paid over 300 for these stupid things. So I'm going back in a few days, and telling them to change the glasses from bifocals to just the one prescription, and hopefully I'll get some money back. In the meantime, though, I'm stuck with defective glasses and I'm going to have to suffer through trying to see the boards in class again and being dizzy because of the blurry bottom. Gah!
So how are you all?

Did you get bifocals or progressives?

I got progressives, so I know that I have to wait for my eyes to adjust. But I wore the glasses to class today, and I could see the bored just fine, but when I went to write notes everything was blurry. I really think the prescription is off, so I'm going take them back in a few days and let them know I just want the one prescription.
