>...I would rather take the time to change to just the right glasses than >suffer the compromises that come with progressives... Been there, done that. Got the numerous pairs of glasses to prove it. However, the Smart Seg changed that for me. I even have one pair with beefed up manification as these eyes I entertain continually weaken in ability to focus. >But if you must >wear bifocals, you might want to ask the opticians to place the dividing >line as high as you will tolerate....At first the smallish distance >portion took some getting use to, but now it seems normal. This is how I have the Smart Seg lens (lense :-) set up, the bifocal line nearly positioned right at the pupils. No bobbing the head up and down like that Chihuahua in the rear window of the car advertisement. (grin)(borrowed from R. Brekne) >If you >spend most of your time looking close then shouldn't the close-up >portion of your bifocals be as large as practical?... >-Robert Scott > Ypsilanti, Michigan Certainly is practical. I just discovered today a new application with the Smart Seg for working under the keybed and working on spinets. With the progressive magnification available, I now just put a piece of material between my nose and the nose pads to lift the glasses to the magnification I need. What a cool trick! I've had these Smart Segs for ages and never thought of that until this thread came along. Whiz bang, thank you gang.
