<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></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
