    Les:  I use trifocals all day every day and like them.  However, I like a large area glass often referred to as "newscaster" glasses.  This gives you a larger area for each type of correction.  I also like the demarcation lines between lenses rather than the progressive type.  There is no mistake which one you're using.  My middle lens is set for arms length work.  After dealing with several eyeglass providers I've settled on Sam's Club as my favorite.  
    Everyone will have varying opinions with likes and dislikes, YMMV.

  Two questions.

              If there are folks like me, facing trifocals in glasses,  have any chosen to put the far range in the middle, and the mid-range in the top?  I'm having to get new glasses and I think they will recommend trifocals- me being 67 and all.

   

              Do any of you carry a "tuner", which will play a wide variety of notes, which will not push the button while in a tool case, thus running down the battery while it lies in the case?  I left my tuning fork somewhere, and have found that A-440 in itself does not really indicate if a pitch raise is necessary.  I'd like to have something with a slide switch instead of a push button.

  Thanks for any ideas.
