You are welcome. Please post your prescription(s). You won't get good
advice without this. If you don't want to, that's fine. Your doctor
knows what it is. You'll just need to get your advice from him.

Bifocals are great. They make many people happy. I have worn them a
few times. They didn't work for me. I don't wear them. I spent a lot
of money on a pair, but only wore them a few times. I couldn't handle
them.
I don't use crutches either. Why would I? Lots of people use them. My
wife and kids have used them. If I had some problem, and my choice was
crutches or being housebound, I know what my choice would be. Crutches
are great. I've never used them and hope I never have to, but if the
time comes, I'll be happy to use them so I can get around.

It's good that you are thinking about this. I think having a list of
questions is a good idea.
However, if he didn't mention bifocals, there just might be a reason for
that.
Be sure to talk to him before, during and after the exam. He can tailor
the exam to meet your needs.
