Ah the joys of getting older! I am in my mid-fifties and have used glasses for several years, primarily for distance vision. I first noticed that I was losing track of my drives when golfing and it wasn't because I was hitting them so far. Then I noticed that at night the lights from oncoming cars was fuzzy and then street signs were hard to read. I have tried many different combinations from no line bifocals to progressives to single focus lenses. Currently what works best for me is single correction lenses for driving and sports and bifocals for work/home use. Whem shooting I use the distance lenses and focus
on the front sight. The target is fuzzy but still discernable. It allows me the best outcome of the different combinations I have tried. This I believe is due to the different, areas on the lenses of multi-focus glasses having gradiations in the corrected area. For example, the progressive lenses have the corrective field ground into an hour-glass patteren with the widest corrective fields at the top and the bottom. I had terrible problems driving with them as I could never get the hang of turning my head to look at the side mirrors instead of moving my eyes only. When you tip your head in any direction the field of vision gets skewed and it drives me crazy. The single focus correction is uniform across the lens and gives me the most uniform vision.
Just one of the challenges that maturing brings, but I wake up every day happy that the I can tackle the challenge.
