My bifocals are great when I'm just reading (through the lower half) or watching TV (through the upper half). But when I walk around, yikes, I miss things. Like curbs.
I tried progressive lenses once (instead of a demarcation line, the near-far parts of the lens change gradually) and felt totally disoriented.
Well, guess what? Research finds people like me really need to be careful. Story by Annie Foley

I almost died trying to walk down stairs the first time I tried them.
@crosswalk Yeah, I usually take mine off when navigating stairs. Luckily I can see well enough without them, as long as I'm not trying to read, drive, or otherwise see fine detail.
