I have had them for many years and like them.  They take about a week to
really get used to.  Also, if you are like me, then you have to take the
glasses off for any up close work.

I tried them and could not adjust. I theorize that in my case, trained as a
designer and believing myself to be fairly observant of my environment, I
sweep my eyes a lot to scan the scene, rather than turning my head to look
at things. That meant that I was constantly moving in and out of the
distance "sweet spot." I just found them incredibly annoying and realized
that I was never going to adapt to them.

This was one case where the 30-day free replacement guarantee from the big
national chain worked for me. Now I have one set of distance glasses for my
nearsightedness, and I do the granny-look-over-the-top (and under the
bottom) thing with my face really close to whatever I need to see the
details for. Which looks perhaps a bit silly, but I have a benchmark that
helps me feel better:

My mechanical engineer father-in-law (RIP) would just wear both pairs of
glasses, distance and reading, at the same time. He had a very agile neck,
and a long nose.
