From your postings, you need the conservative type that only allow you
to see as far as the tip of your nose. ;)

Fair shot. *Wish I could see as close as the tip of my nose. *I'm very near sighted and
miss my very close up vision. *Have to take my glases off to see really near and that is
only one eye. *My distance vison is -2.25 and -4.5 iirc. *I lost the overlap as I got
older. *



Okay...now in all seriousness I too have the progessive type..and they
have a learning curve associated with them.


I'm working on it. *My head keeps bob bob bobing away. *I'm sure your recognize the 78 rpm
record that came from.



If you find yourself doing certain work a significant amount of time,
then you need a fixed prescription for that work.


I have a feeling I'm going to need to look into that. *Working on one's side laying on the
floor rewiring a panel sucks with what I have currently. *Same for doing machining if I
need to make a detail to repair something.

I should emphasize that it is very easy to forget how dangerous it is
trying to see something up close...and getting a wire, a metal
particle, etc. in the eye...thus losing an eye.

I know of several people who were trying to sneak a peek without their
glasses...and now sport a glass eye.

Makes for a great party trick when you pop it out....
