I can't believe you guys actually like bifocals; sure, they do the job, but...

Another very viable option is called monovision, which can be done with either a contact lens in one eye or LASIK in one eye. You can just use regular sunglasses then. (I love my polarized Maui Jim.) Of course there's pros and cons, just like with bifocals. But it's something to consider and try.

Just a thought from an eye surgeon.
