Being independent and self-sufficient (and some might say cheap), I buy drugstore reading glasses in several strengths, and use them for particular tasks as needed. Some are extremely tiny and fold into cute little cases which hardly take any room in my purse. My strongest small pair was made in China, and cost all of $5 at BiMart, complete with its little metal case. I use the medium strength for general tuning, but I use the stronger little tiny ones for reading maps in good light, and for close-up work such as getting a piano wire into the hole in the tuning pin. For extremely trying tasks, such as reading a road map in poor light, I put on both pairs at once, the smaller ones on the inside. I also carry a 4-LED headlamp. Sometimes one can substitute brighter light for stronger lenses. I'd much rather grab the right pair of glasses than fiddle around with bifocals or trifocals. So far no cataracts, thank heavens. That wouldn't be a fix-it-yourself problem. Susan Kline, 66 Mark Schecter wrote: > Les, > > I got trifocals for the first time and don't find them usable.
