What's this?

I sat in my chair just shocked how limiting they were in vision.

Kept checking over, & over, & over...then I came to the conclusion whoever took my measurements must have measured while my head was down. There was no freaking way anyone would design corrective lenses with that much wasted space. I could just see a softball heading towards my head and I wouldn't be able to see it until it was too late.

I created a PowerPoint slide to illustrate my near and far vision zones with the out of focus areas, and was even more shocked when she said that's how they're supposed to look. Wow!

Whoever the brainchild behind that design should receive a visit from BW.
