Still think it’ll be Corum once he gets his shot, but you may be right. Mullings is a hell of a between the tackles chain mover who runs with bad intentions and has some real juice/burst to him for a 6’2, 235 pound man.

Edwards is the most physically gifted and talented of the lot but yeah he’s just an enigma.

I guess I've hit the age where I had to transition to progressive lenses.

Just picked them up. Definitely an improvement for reading, but holy cow this is going to take some getting used to...


I got some progressives a couple years back.  Never wore glasses of any kind before, made it all the way to 47!

After a couple hours, those progressives tossed a major migraine on me, every time I wore them.

Back to the cheaters I went.  Maybe I just didn't give the progressives enough of a chance?  Perhaps you'll have better luck.

Wait, so you didn't (and don't) need any corrective lenses but you were prescribed progressives anyway?

I need corrective lenses for my distance vision... The progressives just add magnification for reading because my eyes are getting old. 

I know if I got LASIK I'd still need the cheaters for reading lol... LASIK would correct the vision but not help with the age-related reading issue.

I was told I was headed that way, so here --- we think this is your best bet.

I have absolutely no issues seeing at distance, driving, or anything other than reading, and the cheaters handle that fine -- though I do get eye fatigue after some hours.

We back a couple months ago, and told the eye doc my issue, and that I don't/can't use the progressives.  He said fine, stay with your readers if you're good.  So I am, for now.

I have, and really like, progressives. It's my reading that really needs them. My vision at distance is still pretty good, but I've noticed it degrading a little in the last few years. My progressives get it back to what it used to be. Not necessary, but still nice. I like not having to wear them, but when I was just using readers, they took an awful beating because I took them off and on so much when I moved around the office. I really wanted a pair I could just leave on. That's been a change for the better.

And I still like that I can take them off whenever I want (as long as I'm not trying to read).

It's certainly less depressing than talking about Purdue football...

...or politics.

Sounds like a few of you aren't too far off from needing trifocals.

I have so few imperfections, that perhaps talking about my poor vision will humanize me to the rest of you...

That's what progressive are, the fancy version of tri-focals w/o the lines
