I am due for an exam as well. I have been wearing bifocals for several years now, I have never tried any of the other options, they help a lot.

Ordered single vision for now. I'll try progressives later.
Hopefully it helps recent sleepathons and need to just zone with my eyes closed. Being out of the house is ridiculously exhausting, straining to see so much.

Contact lens, reading glasses, and progressive bifocals. Thinking about going with glasses only, because I’m getting less wear time with the contacts. They’re also a pain to maintain - gas permeable. [emoji851]

I use separate, single-vision glasses indoors, a medium strength for stuff at arm's length (my computer screen) and a stronger set for reading a book or my tablet. The trouble with these is that they make me near-sighted while I have them on. That doesn't bother me much indoors, in familiar surroundings, but the moment I step outside, it drives me bonkers.
So for walking outdoors or driving, I use progressives. Down low they're the same strength at as my medium "computer" glasses, and and up high they're optimized for distance. This lets me the see the dashboard clearly while also seeing stuff out the window clearly, and it's good enough to read a menu in a restaurant, but doesn't work at the computer because the field of vision up close is too small; I'd wear out my neck.
I tried bifocals with a line in 'em once. Hated 'em with a passion. But some people actually prefer them over progressives, go figure.
I only wear contacts when we go to the beach. Hard to get the snorkel mask over the glasses.
My snorkeling days are over, but I think you can get masks with a prescription. I don’t know if I’d want to see jaws or other nasties coming anyway. [emoji50]

When we were in the Virgin Islands a couple of years ago we were snorkeling and I looked over to my side at water level and there was a barracuda not 3 feet from me just hanging out sunning himself. All of a sudden I remembered my son lecturing me about taking off my jewelry before I went in, which of course I forgot to do. Good for me it wasn't hungry. They have quite the impressive set of chompers and I could see them he was so close.
Mornin' sweet stuff, how's it hangin'?you are
