Progressive Lenses for Computer Work....?

Lenscrafters has become more of a premium store, not a discount store. They are owned by Luxottica, who also own EyeMed (vision insurance), and about half of the frame companies. Their frames are typically good quality, but most are made in China now rather than Italy. There are 2 types of progressives used for computer work, a true progressive and a near variable focus. A progressive will give you a smaller area to see through the lens, but allow you to see at all distances. A near variable focus lens will give you a much wider viewing area, but is restricted to intermediate and near (about 6 feet and closer).

 

I got my progressives (only 15 year old I know with frakkin' bifocals) at Pearlevision, and they're nice and (relatively) thin, light, and they work.
