progressive lens

[FrankHtown]

I switched to contact lenses 2 years ago for refereeing games and love them. Yes, I'm Nearsighted, Yes, I have Astigmatism, and Yes, now I'm at the age where when I wear the contact lenses, I need reading glasses to see small print. But I'd never give up the lenses. The improvement in peripheral vision is dramatic. It has totally made me more comfortable at L while watching the paint, I still have a good idea of where the ball is without turning my head. With glasses I was always sneaking a look at the ball. Exam and 6 lenses for each eye was less than $200. I wear glasses when I'm not refereeing, so 6 lenses, with proper care, will last me at least a year.
