I found that I had to go back to bifocal, after trying the transitional. The reason, in my mind anyway, was that with the latest designs, there is not enough room for the transition. I found that the reading part seemed to be at the very edge of the lens, and hard to use. The seller of the glasses, said that I should wear the transitional lenses full time, and I would get used to them. For the most part, I don't wear glasses at all, except for driving, and TV. Sometimes for reading. I went back to bifocal and am well pleased. I also have single vision polarized for driving.
