Cindy M., a market manager for VSP, shares her experience adjusting to progressive lenses:
I am an emerging presbyope. Come on. I’m only 42 years old. Really—progressive lenses–really? Up until two years ago, I didn’t even need glasses. Last year, I started with computer vision glasses. Progressive lenses were the absolute last thing on my mind when I headed to my optometrist a few weeks ago for my annual eye exam. But there it was during the exam, my distance vision needed “correcting.” I could go without, she said, but did I really want to give up distance clarity?
Hmmmm. Then my doctor recommended progressive lenses. Granted, I work for VSP, and knew about VSP Reveal progressive lenses and what they had to offer me: greater near, intermediate, and distant fields of vision, reduction in image swim, fully customized for my prescription … I decided to put them to the test.
And, I have to say–I love them. I’ve been wearing them for two weeks, and the clarity in all my ranges of vision is AMAZING. And, it only took a day or two to adjust. The added benefit of wearing my progressives is that, not only can I see distances clearer, but I don’t have to hassle with taking my former glasses off and putting them back on all the time.
So, for new and emerging presbyopes, embrace the change. Ask your doctor about VSP Reveal progressive lenses! You’ll be glad you did.
Cindy,
Is your refraction in either eye above -3.00?
What percentage of your time do you spend staring at a computer?
Have you noticed the need to move away from the monitor to comprehend or see what is on the screen to avoid having to roll your head from side-to-side as you look at the computer image?
You may be in for a real surprise as your comprehension skills decrease and your peripheral vision is significantly reduced.
