I'm with you on that seeing things has become a pain I may get a special pair just to work on my Dakota as my bifocals don't help me at all both don't help me see my engine these days and I don't like progressives.

By the way cool Pic.

 

My eyes have really changed over the last few years. I've gone from extremely far sighted to near sighted in one eye and very near sighted and almost blind in the other. I'm going in fora dilated eye exam after work today and after the first of the year, I plan to have my left eye worked on while I have good insurance before I retire. I have some safety glasses from work that I use in the garage. One pair is plain and the other is bifocal with 2.0 cheaters.

 

I think my vision changes every time I blink.

 

I don't recommend bifocal safety glasses. The way the hard plastic ones are made, the ear arms (whatever the correct name is) have a pivot point over the ears. When you have to look down, they always pivot to the wrong point - if I needed the bifocals they'd move to just outside where I needed them, and if I didn't guess where the bifocals would center? I have another set being made now without the bifocals, and I'll just use the bifocal ones when I need close-in work.

 

When I was in high school, I sometimes worked for a small contractor who did a lot of carpentry and plaster work. He had glasses with the bifocal at the TOP of the glasses. He walked around with his head tilted back when he was working but when he was working over head, the bifocal part was ideally placed.
