Should my sunglasses be bi-focals?
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?

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.

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!

:hi:

7. I have bifocal (non-line) sunglasses; love 'em.
You never know when you'll have to read a map.
