Serious question about age...and gender.

Before my cataract surgery I had progressives, I loved them until the cataracts got so bad I could barely read. So, I got this terrific surgery (I loved it, it made both eyes practically perfect) However, even though I only need reading glasses I still got progressives because it's so much easier than balancing the bifocals. Maybe I'm pampering myself, but what the hell, I like them.

I've heard the progressives take a lot of getting used to. Did you have a real problem with that?

I didn't have a problem, but maybe if I had balancing issues I would have. One thing I notice now is it's difficult to take showers since that aneurysm happened. Sometimes I lose my balance trying to turn around with eyes closed, of course that has nothing to do with progressives, just slow recovery after large blood loss. Thank God I still have a tub, or mr. g'bag would have to hose me down in the driveway.

Hi Rog! I am not Glitterbag, but I will answer your question. I almost never had any problems with progressives. I once had a small problem, which the optometrist fixed by merely adjusting the frames.

Same here, no issues with progressives. Just don't use them with computers. I started getting neck pain from tilting my head up to read the screen. (I imagine bifocals would produce the same effect.) I keep a set of regular reading glasses for computer work.

I'm not even Phoenix, I tried progressives and it was a lot of trouble to get them at the right angle all the time.

Thanks to all.

I have bifocals, and I also use reading glasses on the computer.

I don't know about all computers, but my Apple can tilt back and forth and side to side. Often a tiny adjustment makes a huge difference in the viewing angle.

Yeah, back when I was dating mostly go-go dancers (they were a big thing back in the 70's)...there were some who could tilt back and forth and side to side.

Whew! Talk about tiny adjustments making a huge difference!

Oh, Frank. I could always count on you for the perfect comeback!

It's all in how you look at it that separates the consequences. A slap or thrown out the club.

Extra points for collecting both.

In most cases, I was either the bartender...or the manager. I've held both positions in several bars and watering holes.

No slaps...because I never, ever force things. Any woman I move on either welcomes the move enthusiastically...or I consider it a "NO."

As for being "thrown out." Well...more often than not, I was the guy who hired the bouncers.



Always at least two dancers. Extra points were given for having both come over to the apartment for a...nightcap!
