It’s funny...I have two pairs of good pairs of bifocals all with different strengths...none of which seem good for any distance whatsoever! I support computer systems, and am constantly looking over people’s shoulders, holding one pair of glasses in my mouth while I wrestle with a case and the other pair of glasses.
I used to make fun of an old scottish professor of pharmacology, for whom I worked a part time job as a lab assistant. He was a crittery, old codgery guy with longish stringy hair and worn sweaters. He was as eccentric as they come, and he used to wear bifocals with another pair around his neck, dangling by a piece of twine. There was something just madly eccentric and offbeat about this guy, who was pretty brilliant, wealthy and such, wearing glasses with a piece of old twine on them.
Now...it looks like I’ll resort to that. Heck, I am carrying them in my pocket and constantly fumbling around now to switch them out. I’m not that old, either...my eyes just seem to have an mind of their own when it comes to focusing for reading. Don’t get me wrong...I am not complaining. I actually think it is kind of funny. After all, I can still read...thank God for computers!
