When doing such lenses, tell the optician that u want to do close corridor lenses such that u don't have to keep looking up or down to switch between far and near sight.This ilooking up and down is why a lot of people can't get used to progressive lenses.

If done correctly, a pair of close corridor progressive lenses will be as natural as a normal pair of eyes letting u see far and near without any hassle.

Correct. Especially for the 1st timer who wear progressive lens.

Hi,
My eyesight seems to be getting worse. A little blurry when I try to look at things/words from afar. If the words are too small, also finds it a little hard to see even when I am near. Now, I guess my eyesight is at the early stage of deterioration (cos everything still seems quite clear except for the above scenarios).

I am contemplating of having my eyes checked and possibly getting a pair of specs. However, I have been advised by many not to do it yet as wearing specs will only worsen my eyesight further (i.e. my eyes will get used to the lens and 'adjust' according to it). It also means that in future, whenever I don't wear my specs, the images will become even more blurry than before as my eyes have been 'adjusted' to the lens. It will only become worse. Also, heard that wearing specs is a hassle (e.g. uncomfortable when perspiring/ rash). Should I opt for contact lens instead?

Thus, now in a dilemma. Please advise. Thank you.

U born in 1978?

Anyway u should wear specs if u already can't see clearly.
