The first time I got progressives and went hiking in West Virginia all was fine until we decided to descend the steep rocky trail. It was a horrible experience. One stumble and I’d probably need to be airlifted out. I had to go really slow. Everyone else thought I was being a baby and left me in their dust, so I was alone on the hillside unable to see my feet. It took me a full extra hour to make it back to base. I swore off that style of glasses. 10 years later I got a fancy car with a computer screen dashboard. If I wore my driving glasses, I couldn’t see the computer. If I wore my reading glasses the road signs were blurry, so I’m trying these progressives again. They sometimes make me dizzy. At first I only wore them while driving, but I’ve slowly gotten used to them. I can’t use them for [computer] work because I’d have to perpetually tilt my head up, but I often wear them for more than just driving now. If I’m going hiking I still use my old driving glasses. So I lug around 3 pairs of glasses…
