Default It is cold out side, lets take about bifocals

No offense taken. I've been on usenet a long time under a number of aliases. I don't have
a thin skin.

I too am very near sighted.


The difference between eyes is the biggest problem. Reading glasses just don't work. At
least I can see really close up by lifting.

With this problem of glasses, there is unfortunately no easy solution
except youth...which I too am losing.


I know that feeling well.

The best solution is to go with the lined bifocals so you know where
the division is.


I'll get my next set of company paid glasses with the lines for reference. Be about 11
1/2 months for those.

Then get speciality glasses for close work, far work and something in
between.


I have a feeling i'll be ponying up bucks for glasses for the difficult situations.

What drives me NUTS is when I am upside down in some machine and have
the wrong type of glasses on.

You will find yourself with your nose millimeters from a spinning
chuck/shaft checking something out and then realize how close to
getting killed you are.


You must be way more nearsighted than me. 8" is my left eye. Right worse.


It sucks to get old sometimes...


Beats the alternative. As another said, every day you play golf above the grass is a good
day.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Wes
