Hi Vera,
the weird thing was that in addition to my rx possibly being “off”, the lenses…were “off” too…or the “centers” not right…or something…
my vision is poor…so the spread from far to near is big…meaning that each increment seems to get a teeny sliver of lens as it progresses up or down…
i was told that the nearsighted portion at the bottom is about the size of the tip of my pinkie (for most, not just mine…?)
i could not see to read things on my desk
i was told…” oh, you need SV, and MD glasses too”
also, with those progressives i would tilt my chin up to see the computer, or when reading in bed…unconsciously…which resulted in chronic neck pain…
the mid distance glasses were a blessing in the whole ordeal because it seemed like each increment was a bigger sliver…since it only had to cover from reading to mid distance (and not far)…no more head tilting to “hit the sweet spot” of vision on the lens
(weirdly, i took to wearing these around the house more often as those are the distances i am usually using…)
the single vision glasses were also a blessing…i have the whole lens, including periphery, to see everything on the page clearly at once, whereas the progressives would blur on the periphery (even with the top of the line, best periphery, thinnest high index lenses available 
)
the craft optics are bifocals, so basically more of the mid and near lens available to view thru, instead of slivers! since distance is pretty constant? that makes sense…my MD glasses are still progressive…
maybe i should try MD bifocals…or trifocals!
my bro in law swears by his trifocals!
i think the SV and MD would work well on the scope if i updated my rx…it is a tad stronger now…
i favored the MD when i had the “off” progressives
but now. i favor my new progressives
and the MD now seen a tad weak
vision challenges! (sigh!)
