Carrots, my friends. Carrots. They helped the Brits virtually beat the Nazis in the skies over Dover, and they'll help you in the virtual skies too.
SIGH! Been looking to go this way too. I have a pair of narrow lenses to help defeat the ugly look of large lenses with astigmatism. They need to be thick on the edges because of the curvature of the iris and glass lens. I use narrow oframes that are not only lighter, but much more attractive (I need all the help I can get). So it's not like I can get a nice pair of glasses with bifocals. The INVISO eye line bifocals are almost useless to me because the band that allows me to read is so small that I'd need a joint for a neck so I could lean back enough for that part to be effective. Gawd what an ugly word bifocals is. Wearing a pair for the first time is almost as bad as when your waist gets to be larger than your pants inseam. You just know you'll never see that part of youth again. SIGH! Shuddap and eat your carrots!

I have worn glasses for years, and still hate them with a passion. I also need prisms, which means I can't wear contacts full time.
My latest visit to the opticians a couple of weeks ago resulted in bifocals being mentioned in the next couple of years... I feel old. Using a good quality 32" led TV helps a lot with games though.

That's too bad, contacts are a real handy alternative, for that special occasion.

Any marketing-type chappy doing demographic research for flightsim games needs to check out this thread...
I'm short-sighted and awaiting the onset of age-related long-sightedness, with the dreaded bifocals. *Sigh*

Why do you all think you need bifocals?? There are varifocals, reading glasses, distance glasses and intermediates.... Bifocals are no good for flying...

Well there is no way I will get bifocals! I would rather have another pair of glasses. By the time I have decked myself out with TiR hat, headphones etc, putting a different pair of glasses on will just be another part of my pre flight check...
