Me too, as a bat, and even more so since I got new multifocals last week. Those things are a death trap. They didn't warn me about stairs. They didn't warn me about not having any peripheral vision (which nearly resulted in me hitting a child in the car). I'm taking them back tomorrow and telling them to shove them where the sun don't shine.

 

I've got about a mm at the bottom that I have to look down as hard as I can to see, that is for reading. If I want to read the computer screen, my face is looking at the ceiling, which has resulted in a kinked neck. I have about a mm at the top to see distance, so when driving, or watching TV, I have to have my chin on my chest. I'm not sure what the rest of the lenses are for because I can't see out of those. That's just blurry.

 

They told me I'd get used to them. I'll never get used to nearly hitting children in the car, or almost falling down stairs. I'll never get used to everything being blurry. They were supposed to help me see better, not kill people! They suck and a complete waste of money. I'm just glad my health fund covered most of it and I was only out of pocket $100, and not the full $748. I'd be pretty miffed then!
