I tried to get used to them 5 years ago and couldn't handle it. Then I was told they had reduced the distortion from the peripheral view last year and tried again, but still with no success. I have to stick with the old style bifocals, and that's getting harder and harder to find in the photochromic glass...

Yes - these are the lenses without the lines. I've used this type of lens for years ... without problems - but this year my prescription changed enough to warrant purchasing new lenses - and I've had a horrible time adjusting to them. The new lenses made text blurry, not sharp. I've been re-training my eyes & brain - and have slowly adjusted. The tech told me that far-sighted folk (which I am) have the most problems using & adjusting to transitional lenses - and often have difficulties when their prescription changes. Things have cleared up (literally!) but I'm still "fine-tuning" my use of these lenses.
