It was not unexpected. I tried to get the doc I saw last time to prescribe them.
Today, the doc I saw asked if I ws taking my current glasses off to see up close. I laughed, and said yes. I also look over them, under them, around them, etc.
I do the same thing. I couldn't stand the bifocals so I use seperate reading glasses. I don't need them for internet stuff, I just need them when I read a book or directions on a bottle or something like that.
The majority of the time I don't wear them, thank God cause they are difficult to deal with doing remodeling and wood work, saw dust, sweat etc..
