Question
Forum Responses
From contributor B: I never could get use to mine. I wear them to drive and everything else but somehow they make a square cut look like a bevel. I had to go back and purchase another set of glasses. From the original questioner: Yes, they are no line type bifocals. I am wearing them for the first half of the day when my eyes are fresh, trying to tell my eyes to not move like they are used to. If I don't keep them still and just move my head, the cut I just made looks curved. Once my eyes start to ache it becomes distracting, I sure don't want to cut my fingers. I’m going to give the new lenses a fair chance, for my brain to compensate. I mean if I can make cabinets, my brain can surely adapt to these things. It’s just aggravating to look at a straight board and see curves. From contributor C: I remember going through just that. Your brain will make the adjustment eventually but be careful until that happens - as your fingers can actually be in a slightly different physical place than they appear. Think back to first walking downstairs with your bifocals - maybe each pair of progressives should include a SawStop. From contributor D: I just switched from contact lenses to regular glasses (single focus) and am having a similar adjustment. Right now I'm spray finishing some stuff and hate the way the glasses bend everything. I know I'll adjust, I wore glasses for years before switching to contacts. The comments below were added after this Forum discussion was archived as a Knowledge Base article (add your comment). Comment from contributor E:
After both accidents (and several fender-benders) he told me that the offending blade, car, etc. seemed to "jump out of nowhere" because his depth perception was off. After a few months, his brain did adjust to the new input, but the adjustment period was very scary for everybody involved! In other words, take your time, keep all the guards on (or put them back on), and double check everything, and life will be back to normal before you know it.
