I've been using reading glasses for 20 years, including my 10 years of turning. A couple years ago, the eye doctor suggested I go with distance correction for the first time. Those glasses I have only used while driving and hunting. I'm an optical Hansel and have glasses of various strengths and purposes trailed throughout my world.
Now I'm at a crossroads. I think the distance correction might be useful for other times and the doc suggested bifocals. I tried bifocal safety glasses and they didn't work worth a darn.
For those of you who turn and also wear bifocals or trifocals, how do you use them? Which lenses do you use while working at the lathe? How long did it take to get used to them?
I actually looked in a mirror the other day and this old guy was looking back. Yikes. When did that happen?
Thanks for your help.
