What the heck......Maybe get a bio focal with clear glass in lower portion....any ideas????I have been wearing progressive lens for 35 years, mostly for reading and the computer. Only had my license require glasses from about that same time. I would remove my glasses for a few hours before going to the DMV and taking their eye test. Then thought heck I never take the off as they are also translons and in sunny NE SC most of the year need the sun glasses anyway.
I have perfectly clear view of the TV Mirror by setting it tilted as If I were trying to look at myself. Cleared it up for me as others report as well.

Keep using it with your glasses. Your brain will eventually adapt and it will be the best mirror you've ever used. TIP: as mentioned by Jerry U, set it to actual mirror mode, adjust it until you are looking into your own eyes, then switch to camera mode for best results. In my driving position this equates to adjusting it all the way down and to the left.

Guys, you are giving him answers to a question he never asked. He has no problem seeing things close up. His vision problem is seeing things far away, and this is what he wears glasses for. That is why when he takes his glasses off he can now see the rear view camera fine - as it is as if he is reading a book. In fact, I would venture to say that he has to remove his classes to read. That being said, I do appreciate the information about CLR technology. 
So to the OP's question, yes, having bifocals with a clear lens in the bifocal area might work. The other option is to take off your glasses when looking at the camera mirror, which I don't think you want to do. Or, just live with a slightly fuzzy image as you only really need to know what is behind/beside you and you don't need to be able to read their license plate.

I thought I had it figured it out...Just get clear glass on lower sections..Called eye dr. and said they only have clear for upper part????
So I guess i will just have to lift up the glasses.....oh well..

lasik doesn't solve this- the problem is presbyopia or aging of the lens in the eye not one of simple nearsighted or farsightedness- this is a concept that starts to become evident in your mid forties- before that most haven't a clue.
Clear lens extraction with a Extended depth or mutifocal implant can certainly fix it, albiet though, with the risk of intraocular surgery. A monofocal implant wouldn't work and monovision (one eye distance one eye near) isnt exactly for everyone. Face it getting old has its drawbacks - still better than the other option of not getting old

Recall my distance vision in one eye got better when I was ~75! Apparently happens for some!

I would remove my glasses for a few hours before going to the DMV and taking their eye test. Then thought heck I never take the off as they are also translons and in sunny NE SC most of the year need the sun glasses anyway.
