Jim, I'm not sure you ever would have gotten used to them. I have had the same progressives for 5 years and I never got used to them. It's time to go back to the optometrist so this time I'm going to just have distance correction lenses. That's vital for me with driving, going to the movies or anything else involving distances of over 10 feet or so. I can still read OK by positioning my iPad a little further away than I used to so I'll just pick up some readers for special situations like close reading or trying to see stamps, signatures or inscriptions inside jewelry.

I think we found the culprit in mom's dementia symptoms. She's diabetic, but we haven't been checking her sugar much because it has been so well under control for several years. I was reminded of confusion and dementia symptoms being common in older diabetic patients and checked mom's sugar. It was very high before dinner, so of course it would spike even higher after she ate. We have been checking several times a day since then and adjusting her medication accordingly. Her mental status seems much better already. I'm very thankful.
