Light for knitting?

I like mine quite well especially since I used to just wear glasses for distance, but only in the last few years needed them for some closer up stuff. I can still read most stuff without glasses, but the fine print on some medicine bottles makes me crazy. I also use my reading glasses for the computer, and they're perfect.

I guess they're the same Shelagh, and for my work I'd be lost without them,
from reading tiny batch numbers on vaccine vials (that's what first alerted me to the deterioration in my eyesight) to computers the next minute I'd be so fed up with putting them on and taking them off!!

Love & higs Christine Varifocals are fantastic I had my other cataract done last week and once I get my new specs I shall be just fine) Great to hear that it is all going well Ophelia, and that your second operation is now also behind you. I bet once your glasses are adjusted that you will be as good as new. I have three layers in my glasses. I found when I was working in the library that I could not read the in between stuff. Faraway was fine, and reading was also fine, but shelf reading was a pain, I had to come up really close to be able to read the titles and labels. I got a third layer added to my lenses and no lines in the glass to divine them. It works like a charm. I do have early cataracts in both eyes, but for now we still are doing fine.

Never been able to sing the song with a straight face since!! Sorry about the diversion Love & higs Christine Funny...LOL Els -- Ja for Jazz and cobra loose the rrrrrrrr |

Good to hear as I have cataracts starting in my left eye that will need
correction sooner or later. Right now I am with Els on the multilevel glasses. They are great and except for needing a bit more light than I used to to see the stitches on dark items, I am getting along well. Well don't hesitate to have the cataracts done. It is marvellous what they do |
