Same here; but neither I nor any of my three* brothers suffer with it.
* although the youngest of us died at 59.

On the positive side, it seems that eyesight can improve again after some time. Haven't experienced this myself until now, but I would advise not to throw away any old glasses

My optician explained to me that your eyesight can appear to improve if you have cataracts developing.
My eyesight appears to have improved ...

Did you try getting a second opinion on your prescription? I had a similar experience two years ago. The new glasses would simply make me nauseous. After a week of suffering I went back and, after some convincing*, I’ve got a new prescription and my brain made peace with my eyes.

Back when I first developed presbyopia (middle-aged loss of focus) I tried switching to bifocals. I had three migraines in two weeks and gave up. I switched between distance and reading glasses for the next 20+ years until I had cataract surgery last year. I elected to get the more expensive(*) toric lens.
I now have 20/20 distance vision with no glasses needed. I can wear cheap over-the-counter reading glasses, which means I have a pair in my home office, the kitchen, my car, and at work. I can also wear [cue ZZ Top] cheap sunglasses, which I've never been able to wear before.
(*) Even with my insurance, the toric lens cost me an added $4K between the lens itself and added surgery fees. Best damned money I've ever spent.

It took me multiple tries to get used to my progressives. A few hours here and there during work. Then I finally took the all day plunge. I can't imagine going back.

I know the feeling - I've been using them for years because I always had the wrong glasses on before (and with three pairs that was a PITA: walkabout, reading, and a third for the computer.
The big bonus for me was that I can see road signs and the in-car displays with varifocals - it was one or the other with separates.
The down side is when you have to do anything close up above your head as you have to tip your head back so far you fall off the ladder ...

Oh yes, I know that problem. Being involved in amateur theatre as a lighting tech, I spend a lot of time up ladders looking at the settings on LED fixtures above me. That's a glasses off job.

I tried progressives and nearly took a fall, a couple of times.
Just couldn't get used to them.
Good luck with yours.

I just got a pair with "occupational lenses" for the first time. They're like varifocals except they vary from close-up to medium distance. Now I can read the smallest text on my monitors comfortably without having to tilt my head back! I love them, but I sometimes forget to change glasses when I go outside - I'll have to get used to that.
My distance vision has gradually improved over the last few years and it's now almost perfect, so I can do without glasses for driving etc. although I usually wear my normal glasses so I can properly see the displays on the dashboard.

I had a similar experience - it's usually the focal centres on the lenses are wrong - my optometrist(also a friend of mine) says; you shouldn't have to get used to them apart from the first few hours of minor niggles while your brain rewires itself - take em back and get them to check the lenses because they sound wrong

Thanks for this advice.
I had the same experience as OriginalGriff, trapezoid rectangles, for me short on the right hand side.
Taking a close look I noticed that the bridge of the glasses was not central on my nose so I went back to the optician, and raised the issue discretely (I didn't want to make a spectacle of myself).
After adjusting the bridge all was fine.

Give yourself extra space when driving with those!
My wife had a mostly harmless bump in the auto the first day she wore monovision contacts.

"Switch to Roslyn" they said. "It will be better" they said.
Update: And in teaching myself that - it's a royal pain compared to what i have been doing.
Yeah, except you can't target older versions of C#, like used in the .NET Framework with it well, if at all because source generators aren't available until like C#9. Why can't they backport this stuff? Just hire a few more people and give the economy another shot in the arm.
I'm faced with the fact that I already have *language independent* source code generation using the CodeDOM, which can target any and all .NET flavors, even if the steps for targeting each can vary a bit.
And source generators usually (but don't have to) take C# in plain text for their output.
Which leaves me with this option:
var writer = new StringWriter();
...
csharpCodeDomProvider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit(mygeneratedCodeDom code, writer, opts);
That feels cheap. But it saves me from having 3 copies of essentially the same generation code instead of just two (Reflection Emit and CodeDom). The other option is to write a dedicated roslyn generator.
The whole thing that has been holding up my next Code Project article, as well as this generation is I can't decide which bad choice I'm better off with.
It's just got me stuck and spinning my wheels.
