Hi, all, remember me? (see thread "long time contact lens wearer, presbyopia
now an issue...")

I finally went to the eyedoctor.  

He spent a long time examining me, and then announced that he is going to
make me have one regular lens for far vision, but scaled back a bit from what
I have (because I squint in that eye now), and the other would be a bifocal
lens.

Both would be RPG lenses.

He didn't actually give me a bunch of choices or anything.

The first return I could see nothing from either lens, which I thought was
kinda strange, and that is when he made the decision to do a  bifocal in one
and regular in the other (I don't know what the two weak ones were that he
had me try on).

Does anyone have any opinions about this?  Does it sound like a reasonable
plan?  I thought I had heard mostly negative things about RPG bifocals.

Just a reminder, I am VErY nearsighted (like -11 or -12 or something like
that).  My old lenses correct me to 20 20, but the presbyopia has come into
play.
