I bought Zenni safety glasses for times I am in an environment that I cannot wear contacts. It took way to long to ship and when they arrived they just didn't seem to focus right and made me a bit dizzy. I called and they gave me a ship back number and ordered me another pair and shipped. They arrived 3 weeks later same problem and I just ate them went back to eye doctor who did exam and my regular contact subscription. They were fine so beware quality control might be an issue.

I had those graduated bifocals instead of the ones with lines, so I don't know if that makes a difference.


I'm going to get progressive lenses for the first time in my life in a week or so. My very cute eye doctor gave me the bad news last week.

She said it takes up to a week to get used to them but you have to fight through it. Point your nose at what you're looking at and you will be fine. DON'T get them and then go drive. DON'T get them then go straight to work the next day. But for someone who never even had bifocals, it si going to suck bad.

Microfiber cloths.


Yes. I got some as a promo a few months ago, and they are AWESOME. At least, I assume it's a microfiber cloth. Whatever it is, it ****ing RULES. I got two of them, and keep one at work and one at home, and screw anything else...

I keep them all over my house. And office. And car.

My lenses are Crizal which I think is anti-reflective. I use the cleaning cloth that came with them and don't have any problems.

They are also transition lenses, which I thought would be great. They take forever to lighten up after coming in from outside and they don't darken in the car I guess since the windshield has UV protection? I'll probably never get them again.

When I last got AR lenses I was using the eye store fluid and the tiny cleaning cloth that came with the lenses. Never could get rid of the smearing. I found that it is really important to have a clean cloth and the tiny ones are good for one or two cleanings before they got too dirty to work. I started using a large, soft linen (like you would use for drying dishes). Works much better and I can use the same one for a week or two and then toss it in the laundry. I also found, surprisingly enough, that the refill bottles from Walmart worked really well.

I have progressive bifocals and it took a while to get used to them. Especially simply walking. It was like I couldn't see my feet or something. Very uncomfortable feeling.

Stairs were what I struggled with. I still don't like wearing the damn things.
