> What are the rest of you bifocal wearing guys doing?
I hate bifocals. Right now I am wearing a pair of safety glasses ground to
focus at arm's-length. They are also what I wear for home and car-shop
projects.
I wear similar glasses at work in my office job. I can navigate the floor
without killing anyone, read paperwork on my desk, and comfortably view my
computer screen. I may have a problem recognizing people at a distance.
I'm naturally nearsighted like you, so I can take the glasses off for
analyzing tiny, poorly-scratched numbers on sewer maps.
I suggest you see your eye doctor and tell him you need glasses just a bit
longer than reading glasses. Don't be afraid to pantomime the kind of work
you do. Then get safety glasses made up all in that grind, single-vision.
You will wonder how you ever got by without them.
You young guys will find out what we mean soon enough.
