Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete

Another #MechanicalKeyboard milestone: I have taken my failing #Microsoft4000 #ErgonomicKeyboard off my desk, leaving just my little DIY 36-key keyboard (and a vertical mouse).
This was actually prompted by my optician suggesting that as my close vision has deteriorated slightly, I should try glasses with a reading wedge (baby #bifocals) and the monitor lower down so I look at it through the lower part of the lenses. I need to sit straight now!
(Plan B is dedicated intermediate / #ReadingGlasses)

I had an eye exam a couple weeks ago. The optometrist recommended progressive bifocals this time. I'd known it was time for a while, so okay.
My employer's VSP plan only covers the basic lenses, ~$75. The lower distortion, anti-reflective coated Nikon lenses are ~$275. If I pick the Nikons, I pay the $200 difference out of pocket.
One thing the optician said is the longer I delay getting my first bifocals, the harder it will be to adjust to how they work. Is this true?

So, last week I had my eye exam, and as expected, it was recommended that I should get either reading glasses or bifocals.
I opted for bifocals, and specifically for the "transitions" style, and they came in yesterday and I have to say... boy howdy I do not like them. I'm trying to get used to them... but it's a struggle, to be sure. I did not realize how much I used my peripheral vision until I got these new lenses.

Welp, bifocals ordered. Guess my age is catching up to me. Going to be a while, shops which still work in #CrownGlass are becoming more rare. In the meantime, on the 'backups': mixed lenses and manytimes broken arms (which is why the logo is inverted and the far side one doesn't match).

Holy crap.
So, yes I'm old enough to need #progressive (read #bifocals) lenses in my #glasses. Spurred by this weekends *breaking* of my non-tinted pair, I finally went for an eye-exam for the first time in nearly 5 years.
The frame alone is $350 (thanks #Luxottica Group S.p.A monopoly asshats)** **and the lenses are $275 each.
And guess how much the benefits cover: $250 every 24 months. Do unspent amounts rollover? nope.
*Tragically, few #optometrists have layaway or installment plans.*
