The Progressive Lenses Scam
So, I've had these progressive lenses for a while now, and, I must say, they pretty much suck. What a scam. I suppose I should have realized that you can't grind a lens linearly, and that the only way they can really do it is to grind it radially. But, it just never occurred to me. I knew I'd have to look up and down a bit to get the clear spot, but I didn't realize that there would be what's the equivalent of a small "bullseye" that you can look through and see things clearly. In other words, you can't look to the left or right, unless you move your whole head, and that pretty much sucks. One of my best abilities is being able to look at stuff out of the sides of my eyes. Now, if I wanna check out a hot babe, I’ll have to look directly at her. This isn’t cool. I’m nothing if not discrete. They say you get used to them, but I can't wear them for long without getting a headache. Never again.
