I gave in a year or so ago when my arms got too short to read. Got progressive/varifocals and haven't looked back since, so to speak. Some folks don't like them, but any decent optician will give you a 30-day exchange period. Took a little getting used to, noticed that instead of turning my eyes I had to turn my head (otherwise you're looking through wrong part of lens). The only time it bugs me is when driving (but only slightly, doesn't impair driving safety) because as you move things are constantly shifting from one zone to the next as you get closer. All in all, I dig them, and no telltale dividing lines. Good luck. Fred
