Hi 3d Glad you got them, I received my second bifocal sunglass pair also. That frame did sell out off the site quickly like I thought it would. They are great, the Rx is perfect, I thought they might have been a lighter red, and wish the arms had more curve so they sat on the nose bridge at a slightly different angle, but truthfully if they had the same frame in a bunch of colors I would have all the colors! I think I like the Popular frame I got from Global better though but they did not offer those in bifocal. Now I am waiting for a pair that is mixed metal and acetate in with a light rose bifocal. I found that the plastic bifocal lenses Global uses are very clear and good, I like them maybe even as much as the Carl Zeiss lenses. Do let me know more about your progressives in a few days once you have worn them. I was thinking maybe I should try progressives in a clear lens. The first and only progressives I have are a very dark brown tint and I can use hem but was not thrilled. However when I am in places like a super market, I am having a real problem feeling like I can adjust between focusing at 20 feet, 10 feet and close up. Even though I have a weak Rx I just get so frustrated not being able to read things at any distance like I used to. And my eyes are really starting to hurt, but I think that is related to how much I am on the PC (It gets better if I am off the PC for a day.) Anyway, glad you got them and all seems fine. I think Global is one of the best places to order from. In fact I am often checking their new products page. Alice
