While we are on the subject of welding, helmits, and the
autodarkening lenses, I have a question.
I wear bifocals. But when I weld, if I have my glasses on,
I can't see a thing, as I'm looking through the wrong lens.
Some have suggested getting a pair of reading glasses to
wear. This sounds like a good idea, but how do I figure
out what power? Should I get some that would allow me to
confortably read a book? I don't know how far I should
be from the material I'm welding.
Currently, I just take my glasses off to weld. But them I
really have to "eat" my work to be able to see. I think my
eyes are about 20-200 corrected to 20-20. I'm not sure
what the "close" lense is on my glasses.
What are the rest of you bifocal wearing guys doing?
