Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They call it a "myopia frame" in the listing.
You need to have lenses made with your prescription to fit in the "myopia frame".

Ymmv and all that. I bought a pair of the Dualeyewear glasses a few years back. Used them once. Nothing wrong with the brand or the glasses, it was me. Maybe it takes time to get your eyes to behave correctly, but I had a long lag time getting my eyes to refocus through the magnifier and then back again to the clear. Very disturbing.

It definitely takes time to adjust to bifocal. I got a some zero to +2 progressive compureaders a few years back and i was definitely wobbly and had headaches for a few days to a week. But once my eyes learned to use them it became automatic.

Inexpensive bifocal sunglasses (0 to +2), that I never knew existed, will be the same adjustment, but once I get used to them I look forward to being able to wear sunglasses and still see the garmin (and carplay).

I'd suggest you may want to give them another chance and keep at it until your brain learns the pattern / habit of using them.
