Well, Mom tried it for a month before she gave up, so it didn't wear off
for her. This was in the days before vision insurance, so she was
paying for the glasses herself, and wasn't going to toss an expensive
pair of bifocals if there was any way she could adjust.

I have enough problems on the stairs with my lack of depth perception;
I'm not going to make it worse with bifocals.

You may want to pick up a pair of cheap reading glasses at the
drugstore first.

My mother had to return her bifocals because she never could learn to
walk with them. I tested that concept by putting small readers over
my regular glasses and walking through the house, with such disastrous
results that I wasn't even going to attempt risking my neck on the
stairs. I apparently inherited *something* from my mother. LOL. Now I
know, when I'm finally ready to pay real money for reading glasses,
that they have to be separate because I can't walk in bifocals.
