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

<div>I got trifocals for the first time and don't find them usable.
The closeup wedge at the bottom is so narrow I have to move my head to
read the next line. Never tried reversing positions. <br>
