I have named my tri-focals.
Because they are kicking my ass, their name is SKITTLES.

How in the bloody hell is one ever supposed to get used to progressive tri-focals?!

I can't even figure out how to look at the computer screen!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

4. I'm in need of bi-focals....
My vision fluctuates and I know it is about time to surrender. I have to take my glasses off to give a TB shot....I have to locate the bevel position before injecting.......

I wonder what my patients are thinking when I do that?

3. You'll get used to the glasses but not the pain in the neck...
chiropractors must just love trifocals.

12. My Trifocals Story
The first day I wore them to work, three of us were examining a large, heavy piece of tooling on a tabletop. One of the fellows grabbed the piece and flipped it over, and in my newly-trifocaled vision, it looked like he was flipping it over the edge of the table, where it would have fallen right onto my toes. I leaped backward as the other two guys looked at me like I had lost my mind. I said, 'new glasses,' and they instantly understood.
