Yes, I followed exactly the same road. The frameless multifocals I now use
are perfect. I find I only need to remove them when using binoculars.

Glasses for me are just the biggest pain in the arse as I get older.
Never wore glasses until I needed them about 15 years ago for close up work,
cheap drug store reading glasses worked then. Got prescription bifocals a
few years later and had real issues with them - found I was tripping because
of the close up part, looking down. Switched to progressives awhile back and
I have very little issues with them other than trying to keep them clean.
Have had an issue when using a camera, I can't make up my mind to adjust the
camera diopter to work without the glasses, but then I can't read the on
camera info.

I'm a bit older than you. I've been wearing progressives since around age
47 or so, fifteen years ago. They work great for me, as long as I'm not
working on a large screen computer display ... then I have bifocal splits
that give me 22" and 14" in focus.
I've been wearing progressives since I was about 48, I probably should
have gotten them a year or two earlier. It's just annoying that my older
glasses no longer work just fine, it's even more annoying that my vision
no longer corrects to as good as it once did, or that I get ranges where
my eyes just won't focus, even with the progressives.
I've never cared whether I wore glasses... regular, progressives, or
bifocals. I just want to see: to read, to do my photography, and to enjoy
the beauty of life. Whatever it takes to see is all that matters.
What else is important, really?

not be K-mount but eyeglasses.
Last week, when I was trying to adjust the temples, my eyeglasses
snapped in half. Unfortunately, my spare glasses just don't seem to
work. I went thirty years with my prescription barely changing, and now
in my fifties and in the era of progressive lenses, glasses just a few
years out of date make it hard to read the text on my computer screen,
much less process photos.
This rant brought to you by the letter F, no that's an R, wait, it's a
P, definitely a P.
