Go with the invisible type. I understand the kind with the lines across is
being phased out, anyway. Bifocals will make you a little dizzy and
headachy for a couple of days, but you quickly adjust. I haven't noticed my
coke-bottle bifocals being any different with binos than my regular
coke-bottle glasses were. They both fog up in the rain.
