    Cant agree. It is not up to the optician to decide what is comfortable for me. Only I know that. Also he only gave one option for close work when we all know Computer users sit further away from the screen than a newspaper and I was having a third pair to watch the computer but with the same close up prescription. Just not on.:j
    that doesnt make sense as in your previous post you said you needed 3 pairs of glasses therefore your reading and intermediate add will be different, so he will have given you 3 prescriptions not two. the intermediate add can often be tricky to sort as everyone sits at a different distance from their computer, i once helped someone who had to have a different pair for each computer that they used!

    as i say, all you can do is try the glasses for a week and if you find that you cant get on with them go back instore, they will go through everything with you and help you as best they can, they will have been highly trained to deal with your situation, you wont have been the first person with problems getting on with them and you wont be the last! good luck.
