Mine have lines, the ones without were $200 bucks more. Right now the bifocals are for close and medium.

Maybe my eyesight is part of the cause for my migraines? My mom broke her ankle her first day with new bifocals...she stepped down off the stairway wrong. My eyes have been bothering me a lot lately... time to bypass my denial...

Maybe they can use your old frames?

Thats my problem too. I can see far away, but thats it.

I wanted to see how this did before I spent the money for progressives, that is likely next in a trifocal.
