For a year or so now I have been using bi-focal glasses for driving at night, and the same prescription in sunglasses for flying, fly fishing and driving on sunny days. On a recent fishing trip to a remote Pacific atoll I spoke to a guy who had had laser eye surgery to correct his long sightedness who was very happy with the results. On my return, I did some research and noted that the laser surgeons reccommend using contact lenses before having the surgery to check how you will respond to having 'monovision'. I then did some more reading on contact lenses and was happy to read that they are available in various bifocal configurations (see http://www.allaboutvision.com/over40/multifocalcls.htm ) I am now interested in perhaps getting contact lenses (cheaper than laser surgery) and then being able to choose from a much bigger (and potentially cheaper) range of regular sunglasses. Has anyone taken this route? I would be interested to hear your comments. Thanks, Bernie. PS I also have 'reading glasses' for reading and computer, but can't see the TV properly with either those or the driving glasses. Not to mention my workshop glasses, and $2 knot tying glasses for fishing when I can't afford to drop my proper glasses.
