I'm curious why you would need bifocals if your distance vision is fine;
don't you just need reading glasses? Drug store reading glasses might
be a cheap experiment.
I agree with your assessment of glass vs. plastic -- I just bought glass
bifocals, but I am in a distinct minority (about 2 - 5% is what I gather
from several stores where I shopped). But being able to wipe dirt off
my glasses on my shirt, without getting out a special glasses cleaning
kit, is worth a small amount of additional weight.
I wore lined bifocals for 4 years and never really adjusted to them. I
switched to no-line and instantly loved them. I gather it is very much
a personal thing (if you in fact need bifocals). I would suggest
getting used to your peripheral vision being a little blurry before
using the no-line glasses racing.
If you are just now needing reading glasses, you may be too young (under
50) to use this information; I may or may not have gotten a good deal on
my glasses using an AARP discount at Sears (it also is supposed to be
good at Penny's and Target). But it was the deal I went with.
