    The reason I am asking on this board is because this seems to be a group of opticians who "know their stuff." Who seem to care enough about learning new things that you all ask each other questions....

    I believe I've seen people on this board mention task glasses (computer and reading) that are 2-range progressives. They don't have the distance part.

    LC got the re-made Panamics in today, so I went down and got them. I hate to report, but they are no better for reading than the first ones. I still have only a very narrow reading area. I got out a...

    Chip,

    I looked around this board and at the link you provided.

    Do these pc peekers go on bifocals that are for distance and reading (where you have no intermediate range)? And the pc peekers...

    Task specific glasses - computer and reading

    If you get task specific glasses for just mid-range vision (computer) and reading, would that be a lined bifocal? If so, would you get regular size glasses and just the bottom part would be for...

    Steve,

    Yes, I think I had figured out the same company made them. I figured maybe Ovation was the "bargain Lens" of the Essilor family. But it sounds like many people love them.

    Thanks for the reply. No, I didn't buy glasses there. I have a friend who did, and he loves his. His wife didn't buy there because she didn't like the choice of frames. She bought at...

    reason

    There is an optician next to my eye doctor. I think he rents space from the eye doctor. When I was waiting for my husband to get his eye exam, I wandered into the optician's room. I told him that...

    I appreciate all this information. I wish LC had explained all this. We told them we'd heard Varilux were a bit better than the "store" lenses because you got better peripheral vision. They didn't...

    You are correct

    Yes, that is what they are. I paid $100 extra because they have to send away for them.
