Pool glasses are the salvation for eyes becoming older and retina thickening. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment to see your best, local opthamologist
for eyesight evaluation. Tell him what you want the eyeglasses for and he will blend a prescription formula to achieve exactly what you want and you can test this
right in his office even before the glasses get made.
The next thing to do is go straight to the eyeglasses store, like a Lenscrafter store and pick out a frame and order your prescription lenses.
The frame you pick won't be goofy looking like these billiard glasses, the size of the lenses can be as big and as wide as you want it to be with lots of brands & styles
of frames to choose from and you also get to pick the frame that feels the best on your face and looks the best too......Maui Jim, Oakley, Nike, Ray Bans etc.
Then when you go back to see your eye doctor in following years, he can examine the strength of your eyeglasses formula and make corrections as your vision changes
which he will precisely evaluate and measure. He can make recommendations for the shape of the lenses to fir your exact eye needs and the best part is you get to try
various combinations of lenses right in their office and decide which prescription strength combination seems the most clear to your eyesight and tell the doctor so little
tweaks can be made if needed.
Anyway, that's what I did and it works fabulously. I'm due to see my eye doctor again this summer and we'll tweak my eye wear strength or weaken it as may be needed.
Seeing a local eye doctor & working closely on the best prescription and choosing your own eyewear frame is a lot better than wearing those horrible looking pool glasses.
