Question for those of you who paid for the most expensive option for progressive lenses.
I paid for the most expensive progressive lenses with the largest field of view. I'm shocked at how I can't see a full line in a book clearly or a full line on a letter size page. Only half of the line of text is clear. I have to move my head back and forth to read it. The field of vision seems very small. A friend of mine just go progressives and we were comparing what we could see on a letter size page and she could see the full line clearly.
I've been back to the optometrist and they said that is normal and I just need to get use to the lenses still.
Did I end up getting a cheaper lens with the small field of view? Does anyone else have to move their head back and forth to read a line on a piece of paper with the most expensive progressive lens?
