Does anyone else wear bifocals at an early age?

Question

I am 19 years old and will be wearing bifocals since I had cataract surgery. Does anyone else have bifocals at an early age? I feel different than everybody :(

Answer 1

my baby cousin had an eye problem right when he was born so he wears bifocals and he's been wearing them since he was born. he's now three.

a kid in my class also wears bifocals and has been since he was in 2nd grade.

and another one of my friends has a granddaughter who had a cataract and extra fluid in the back of her eyes when she was born. they were afraid she would be bilnd and she also wears bifocals.

you're not alone!

Answer 2

I have no line trifocals, so nobody really knows. I'm 51 so I guess that's pretty average.

Answer 3

With progressive lenses, no one will even know.

Answer 4

HOW DID YOU GET A CATARACT? TRAUMA OR CONGENITAL? JUST CURIOUS.   DON'T FEEL DIFFERENT GET A PROGRESSIVE LENS WHICH IS A NO LINE BIFOCAL AND PEOPLE WON'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAVE A BIFOCAL.  GOOD LUCK.

Answer 5

You may "feel" different, but don't let that get you down!Be thankful that you are able to see at all! I'm sure there are others out in the world who would love to have to be worried about being "different".
