 My dad had vision problems in one eye. I thought he should get a
 monocle. He'd also need to trim his Santa beard down to something a
 little edgier for full effect. Maybe a VanDyke with a waxed moustache?

 Progressives are a game-changer. My close-up vision is worse than my
 distance, and I have some astigmatism. I've been wearing progressives
 since 2006, I got my first pair at an optometrist in an old building on
 the second floor, and my first steps with them were down an outdoor
 wooden staircase. A bit harrowing, but as you mention, you learn to use
 the zones of the lenses.

 My mom got sick of switching glasses, so she got close up progressives
 with no distance correction so she could wear them all the time.
