Terrible, no good, very bad, day

Some personal experience for today. I picked up a new pair of glasses yesterday afternoon, and at first I was completely wowed. Everything was so clear, it was great. However, as I looked more closely as the evening wore on, I noticed some fairly large issues, to the point that this morning I have my old glasses on to work.

I now have progressive lenses because I'm old. For those of you with good eyes, that means I have a lens with three focus areas that seamlessly flow from one to the other. The areas are distance vision at the top, intermediate in the middle, and close reading on the bottom. I've had a version of them for a year now and they work fairly well. The problem with the new ones is something is not right in the intermediate and short zones. The close focus point seems to be left of center. For those that know me, I rarely do anything left of center so this is an issue, lol. Also, I paid up for extra wide zones for my lenses, and the left one delivers. The right one is like looking through a tunnel, which makes everything in intermediate and close but slightly to the right be out of focus. Problems include the right monitor of my three monitor setup at work, as well as the entire center of my dashboard when I'm driving. I literally have to turn my head past the center of the dash just for it to come into focus.

So back to the eye Dr. I go this afternoon. After I get my car back from getting the tire replaced due to a screw that caused it to leak to almost flat this morning. Got it pumped up enough to get to work, but dropped it at the tire place near work and had them fix it under the road hazard protection. It just hasn't been my day so far....

  1. My right eye/brain couldn't make progressives work (it wasn't a manufacturing error), so I had to ditch ever getting those and now have old-lady bifocals.

    1. I finally managed to get them to agree the right lens was not manufactured right. Supposed to have them tomorrow or early next week.
