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
