Comment Every item is critical. (Score 1) 464

I suffer from 'accommodation syndrome', both near- and far-sighted. Joy. I've never had a pair of progressives cost less than $600, and my current set cost $850+. Rimless for the first time.

1. Get the very best technology lenses you can. There are big differe the lensesnces. My current lenses are just OK, but the first set with this shop were painful. Keystoning, headaches, and not the right correction. The shop re-did them no charge. Still some keystoning. It's the lens tech. I will not allow my shop to tell me they are 'the best' again. I'll ask for the specific brand and type. I liked Nikon and Varilux. Kodak not so much, the Hoya lenses I now have are a little disappointing.

2. Get the AR coating. Yes, it's worth it, especially in office.

3. See opthalmologist at least once every two years. I'm very confident in my optometrist, but the M.D. is likely to have a different interest in your refraction. Especially one that doesn't have a frame shop.

4. Ask about the channel depth between your near and distance vision spaces in your lenses. If this is narrow, you will complain.

I'm getting ready to trial single-vision lenses for computer use. And other users have recommendations?

Comment At my last office... (Score 2) 420

...management began converting standard cubicles to an open plan that looked more like picnic tables than workspace. They provided chairs, not benches,true. And most important, you booked your space on a daily or weekly basis. But the reasons:

- average actual occupancy in our building was 85%, and now have 65% more staff in the space.

A direct quote from a manager, two years after introduction, during an explanation of the benefits intended for other managers: "This was a pure real estate play for us". It's successful.

But it doesn't suit all workers
