How long does it take to make the adjustment to wearing glasses daily?  I just got a pair of bifocal glasses and I may have gotten the wrong prescription (is that what term is used?). I can see great far distance but seeing up close is blurry.  Blurry inside of arms distance.  I have to remove the glasses to use my laptop.    They are pretty cool looking transition lenses.  Nike btw.

As in they turn into sunglasses when exposed to the sun?  Really cool.

Progressive wearer here- not bifocals- transitions as well.

They took some wearing to get used to.

When I changed from single-focus to progressive lenses it took about 2 weeks to get used to them.

I made the original change from regular to progressive lenses with no problems at all. However the last couple times I've had my prescription updated the sweetspot for close reading keeps getting smaller. I ended up getting a second pair specifically for the computer and reading

It took about a week after I got my bifocals.  There is a sweet spot that your eyes need to adjust to when reading.

Yea. Unless they truly are the wrong prescription, you will get used to them. You'll start looking like one of those old fogeys always looking down through the bottom of your glasses. And that's because you are an old fogey. #welcometotheoldfogeyclub

just joined the club to...this old thing sucks.

I get this really odd feeling when wearing  them while walking that I feel very short. Its so hard to explain but it feels like the ground is closer than it should be. I find myself over compensating for things like stepping over curbs a overall I just feel like something is off balance.

Progressives as well (not the regular to sunglasses—the distance to reading kind) 

I hope I get use to it.
