<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Lar -- multiple reading
glasses. Well, to each his own, but I think that's lots less <br>
complicated than bifocals, trifocals, trying to get the little screw in
the glasses <br>
hinge holding a maglight (when you could wear an LED headlamp, look ma,
no hands), and <br>
have other pairs as needed. I leave them spread here and there in the
house, ready <br>
for particular tasks, plus the two pairs in my purse. One medium, and
full sized, for <br>
chamber music, one little but strong, also can be mixed and matched. <br>
<br>
Seems simpler to me, not more complicated, and certainly a lot less
expensive. <br>

<div>Hi Wim and Les.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had bifocals when still in school then in my twenties I was
told I didn’t need them. Then in my forties I needed them again. My
father cussed at trifocals from day one. The size of the bifocal can
be ordered to your liking. I’ve been using a straight lined style
about as wide as my thumb. I use glass lenses for the protection since
I work with grinders, welders, and unidentified flying eye pokers from
time to time. Yes I wear goggles sometimes and even though I wear a
welder’s mask those little black spatters still end up on my lenses.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>........ and then there’s trying to tighten the little screws
with a mag light and no glasses to wear because they’re in your hands
being serviced. Yeah, great fun!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’ve considered putting in a small one in the very top of my
lenses for back action work on grands so that I don’t have to eat the
edge of the keybed AND hold my glasses up to see back there. I’ve
written off the idea of a separate pair. I like the simple life I
guess. Now if I could keep the small specks off of the glass I’d be
ahead. Oh wait ......... they’re moving around ........ oh never
mind. That’s my inner eye sack collapsing and deteriorating, hence the
proliferation of floaters. Kinda reminds me of strands of celery with
chunks attached flailing about. Catch them if you can!! Fish bowl
eyes. A flying circus in miniature. What was that out of the corner
of my eye?? Something moved over there and now it’s gone!! Someone
just passed by the window ........... OH HELL!! It’s just my eyes
playing tricks on me again. Personal entertainment center eh??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Trifocals ........ I’m going to put them off for as long as
my eyes will let me. I really don’t like giving up any part of the
area of vision/view on my lenses. I got my first pair in about 4th
grade I think ...... a long time ago. Fins were in and gasoline went
on sale to 20 cents a gallon from time to time. A new piano sold for
$700, tunings were $5 and television and photographs came in two
colors. Glasses were made of plastic covered wire and some were
pointed at the corners. A country boy from Tennessee had a bass player
in his band that wore huge rimmed black glasses.</div>
