Thanks for the advice about pointing my nose at what I want to see everyone. My optician didn't mention that. My brother had progressives for years, before having eye surgery and he did warn me about turning my head side to side and stairs.

I'm curious to see how I'll like them. I definitely need something as both my distance and up close vision has gotten worse. I sit in the front row at my classes, and the powerpoints are still fuzzy, and when I try to read it's really a struggle to find the right distance to hold the book.

One good thing about getting the glasses from my opthamologist is they've said they'll call me after 2 weeks to see how I'm getting on, and if the prescription isn't right, they'll replace the lenses with an adjusted prescription for free. Can't beat that.

And yes the glasses were expensive. But my eyesight's so bad that my lenses have been super expensive for a long time. I think my last glasses were aroune $500, and the progressives were $650. Mentally I was prepared to pay up to $800, because that's what my brother said he paid for his last pair.
