Then came the "my arm's too short" symdrome and I started collecting reading glasses. In time I had two different strengths, one for reading and one for computer work. The computer ones usally stayed on my desk, the others were everywhere. But eventually I had to go back to prescriptions. I have one pair of blended bifocals I wear for regular use and one pair designed specially for computer work. Now my only issue is when I leave my computer and forget to change. I'm forever running back upstairs to switch glasses.
