Should my sunglasses be bi-focals?

[Courtesy Flush]

I'm getting new glasses tomorrow. I'll get a second pair which will be prescription sunglasses. I don't often read outdoors, but it's been known to happen.

Those of you with bi-focals, is it something you've given any thought to?

1. Locking.

Please do not seek medical advice on DU.

2. How else could you read while driving on a sunny day?

3. Your prescription will be right on the money

The sphere and axis are -so- much easier to align when edging with that little bi-focal shield to guide the technician. :D

If you can afford to pay for them go for it.

Designed specifically for your frame and lenses.

6. My dear kdsusa!

I have given this much thought.......

And even though prescription sunglasses are more money, I feel they are worth it!

You have so much more flexibility with them.......

I have gone with these for the last several pairs, and I have never regretted doing so!
