Do your eyes adjust to a new prescription which can mess up your normal vision? I assume the answer is yes. Do I need a different prescription as I can't see well when I have my glasses on and am not reading, like walking around or normal stuff. Do I need to go to a 'normal' bifocal so I can read but wear for normal use as well? I do plan to go into the optometrist to get it checked but wonder if you have thoughts.
Also, no offence, but are all optometrist basically the same for simple stuff like this? Like is the Costco or Walmart person good enough vs the FYI doctor type places which seem to be very expensive?
Thanks.

That's normal when your eyes reach a certain "vintage". It is a myth that glasses make your vision worse. They enter the slow decline just like the rest of you regardless of what glasses you put in front of them.
Are they a lined bifocal or are the Progressive (no line)? Lined bifocals are limited in that they only work in a very narrow focal point whereas progressives will give you vision over a much larger range.
I would highly recommend getting your eyes checked with your local Optometrist. The knowledge and equipment used is much higher quality vs the the chains.
