2. I outgrew my glasses
gained 60lbs and now my fat head are too big for them and I can't really afford to get another pair until later. But congrats on your new glasses! It's nice to be able to see again!

3. How about a pic?
This way we can tell you how handsome you look with your new glasses. As for the bifocal part, who cares? I know people who needed bifocals when they were only 42 or so.

4. I had to get bifocals at 40. Now I need trifocals, but I use 2 different pairs of glasses.

5. Mine are supposed to be no-line bifocals; I can't really tell
but then, my astigmatism is severe enough that hardly anything will correct my vision. I was about 45 and several years overdue for new glasses when I got them. I had a friend in college who had trifocals way back then. It hits you when it hits you. 45 is probably typical.
