a-HA, found 'em .. safety reading glasses
 

I recently got an eye exam (age 52 and counting) and got glasses. I've been
using an extensive array of lenses of one kind or another in the shop to
compensate for my lack of closeup vision. I realized how much better I could
see up close once I got my glasses, which made me wonder -- do they make
safety reading glasses?

Sure do. I just ordered 3 pairs, total of $26.50 -- any of you other "oldsters"
who've wondered, now you can stop. They're out there.

MSC carries them, in a variety of styles and strengths.

OSHA has really gone too far now! Do they think words might leap off the
page into your eye? :)

Well not really, Ya gotta read all them safety stickers that are plastered
all over the machines that you are attempting to fix. Some times I just
read the manual to the machine so that it knows I mean business. What
better way to get a machine to step back in line than to read the manual to
it and shake your Leatherman at it!
