I started wearing bifocals in my 30's. I am now into trifocals . I had an eye test today and asked about being able to see what I am doing when looking up (like working on light fixtures). One solution might be Double D lenses. They aren't progressive lenses. They have the traditional D shaped segment on the bottom but they can also put another "D" up top in a power that makes things clear at arms length.

I would be putting these in safety frames with clear shields on the sides and a barrier up top.

Does anybody use them?

I am near blind without my glasses and I can foresee these being useful for some things, but I would not want these to be my only pair. I think that a person would need more distance vision area for driving and general use.

Let me know how these work out for you.

These would be strictly for work. They're checking to see if they can fit the Double D into the safety frame.

My dad used to wear his bifocals upside down for overhead work. Looked stupid, but it worked for him.

If the Double D's are close enough to my face I generally don't need glasses

Double D's on your face works for me!

I want to put these in a safety frame similar to this. In addition to being able to see, I want to keep chit out of my eyes. We aren't sure yet if the lens is big enough to accommodate the Double D.

I looked up "beer goggles and double D" and this is what came up

Nice frames. I got Uvex Titmus SW06 frames and regular prescription lenses, but I'm considering getting progressives. I drive in them as well and with how narrow the lenses are top-to-bottom, I think a non-progressive lens would be really distracting.

It too me a long time to get used to them with the side barriers. I felt like I had tunnel vision for about two weeks. Adding visible cut lines to that would have forced me out of the glasses in about 10 minutes.

This is one of the main reasons that I wear contacts. I can't stand looking over or under my glasses. They are in my lunch box in case I loose a contact. Have you tried contacts? It took a little to use to them but now I can't imagine seeing with the them.

I've been wearing double d's for about two years. They were a little difficult to get used to but now really like them.

I wear no lines when I'm not working.

The other day I say a "Save the Tatas" license place where the plate number was "D D" I had to laugh.

That's what I thought this thread was about.

Don't know much about glasses but My dad uses progressive lenses and loves them.
