Anyway, the latest, snazziest, most expensive bi-focals giving the widest range of vision . . . . are they worth the cost?

By bifocals I assume you mean Progressives. The answer is YES !!. The big problem with progressives in the past is that they were one size fits all (ie. a lens off the shelf). The new lenses take into account the frame you pick, the amount your eye turns inward with you look down, the distance between your eye and the lens and the way the frame is going to sit on your face when you use the glasses. Your prescription is also put on the back surface of the lens in 5000 different points to give you more left and right vision and remove most of the distortion on the edges.
