@@aragorn318 hi there! It took a few days to get over the drunk feeling :) I am really enjoying them though. Careful on stairs until you get used to them.
@@danp1975 I just received my progressive lens eyeglasses. I can see great and it's instantly comfortable. However, I have get used to reading with them.
I tried bifocals. I hated them. So I wear 1 pair of glasses for walking around/driving and i carry two other pairs (1 reading/computer, 1 for intermediate distance like taking a class or in a presentation meeting at work). I am so used to it now and would never go back to trying a lens with multiple prescriptions. I would consider surgery options, but at a later time when I have more stability in life/job and better medical/vision insurance coverage.
I just returned my progressive lenses. They were horrible. The viewing fields for the middle and bottom were incredibly short and very narrow...not at all as wide as this woman is showing on screen. I had to constantly move my head to read a sentence and keep all the words sharp and clear. Pain in the a**. I went back to my line bifocals.
So you Pay for glasses and they slap some lenses in some frames then tell you your eyes have to adjust to the glasses? Why did we spend our hard earned dollars on something that was made for OUR eyes, But ISNT? Eye doctors are no better than used car salesmen.
So wait... Let me get this straight. Basically the 100% lens is divided into 50/50%. With top 50 being distance and bottom 50 is close. Just 1 little question: What in the actual f??? Why would anyone want that? Youre basicslly cutting down your viewpoint by half? Youre only gonna get 50% of the picture? That doesnt make any sense. I thought the lenses are layered so they sort of blend it together to allow a full view up close and afar as well. I thought technology got up to this point but it's just a lens divided into 2 so you essentially looking through a keyhole? No thanks. I'll wait 100 years for someone to make a blended version. Until then, ill be blind i guess.
Progressive lenses are compromised vision. She left out how they only provide a very narrow canal to look through for the mid range and close up view. Because of the way optics work, the sides have huge areas of distortion which is basically garbage to see out of. Plus you have to tilt your head back to read things close up like a computer screen. Nothing is better than single vision lenses where everything is clear from edge to edge. Even if you need two or three sets of glasses.
Thanks for explaining in a very simple manner. Now I understood how progressive glasses work.
Thank you. Very nice explanation. I just went to Warby Parker for the first time, and I had a very nice customer service experience.
We're so happy to hear that! 💙
I am on one, thanks for helping me understand the Progressive Lens adaption
U have explained everything very WELL.
Thanks for the tips! I get my first progressive lenses in a week.
How was it? I should be receiving mine any day now.

@@aragorn318 it definitely takes work to use that lower part of the lens. You’ll get it!
First glasses ever are progressive from Warby. Good job.

How one can see clearly from distance and intermediate at the same time through progressive lens?
Could you do a video on floaters please
I won't get the same clarity from a single lens (distance only) like clarity from progressives just to read a book? Also doc gave me no add. Plz help
Brilliant
شكرا thank you
Thank you!
They should call them fishbowl lenses.
it doesn't explain the peripheral distortion in progressives. (from an optometrist looking for good patient education material)

Yeah I just got some not sure I'm liking them
Exactly. Inferior vision at a much higher price, made worse by W. Parker's use of polycarbonate, which has terrible chromatic aberration.
Progressive have distortion
Why does Warby-Parker pay their optometrists so little ?
