I suspect mine might be off a little. I’m sitting in my hotel room watching the news and looking at the top parts tv is clear except on the edges. I have to turn my head slightly to get the corner of TV in focus, but other side then gets blurry. It’s like the field is not wide enough. Sent

You will get used to it fairly quickly. First time I tried progressive lenses I nearly got sea-sick, but in a couple days I no longer notice, except that mine have the start line too high to drive with them, the idiot girl who set them up for me insisted the progressive start above the pupil

Gents, I noticed today that the oil pan on my 2010 Dodge Ram 5.7l is leaking. Its weird, that part of the truck is otherwise not terribly rusty although the rockers under the rear doors are getting gross. My local dealer wants $261. Rock Auto lists a Mopar for $185, Spectra Premium for $53 down
