Thumbs up Comfortable, bifocal contact lenses

Thirty-five years ago I was attending court reporting school and one of my fellow students (in her mid twenties) decided to try contact lenses (she had been wearing fairly thick glasses). She had trouble getting lenses that were comfortable, and we could always tell when she was trying new lenses because she'd be squinting a lot, and before she left for the day she'd be wearing her glasses. Then one morning she showed up without glasses and no squinting! Everyone wanted to know what happened. She told us she tried some new lenses made by Burnor,and they were great from the first moment she put them on, both visually and comfortwise. At that time I was wearing glasses, hated every moment (I'm very farsighted), and was eager to learn more. Now, 35 years later, I'm still wearing Burnor lenses. The lens in my right eye is corrected for distance and the left one for up close (for me this doesn't cause nausea which bifocal glasses do). I had a routine exam at my opthalmologist a few weeks ago, and my vision was corrected to slightly better than 20/20.
