Safe Speed Forums

Now I am back in employment I have started using the "occupational varifocals" again as they are ideal for screen-intensive office work. However, as varifocals of any kind require a bit of "psychological adjustment", you can't just instantly switch between the occupationals and the standard varifocals, so I am back to driving, at least during the week, with the single-vision distance lenses, which leave something to be desired when trying to focus on the instruments

I've found that for most things close up, my normal computer/reading glasses( 2.5 at the mo) are adequate, but for reading the value on a small capacitor /IC etc, I need to double up with another pair on top of the first, but the doubling up affects the focal length .

You will be branded a threat to society by going over a speed limit where it is safe to do so, and suffer the consequences of your actions in a way criminals do not, more so than someone who is a real threat to our society.

Same comments,Peter. Yep,Tone- it seems that we can correct vision,but we cannot replicate the eye. At one time ,I could lay out an IC on an PCB with a pen with out any vision help. Now I need one pair to see the PC, and add another to see what type of IC it is.

Tell me about it Dave. Oh, you just did

Mine are slightly different to yours from the sounds of it. If I take my specs off and bring it, whatever 'it' is, to within about 12" I can see a zit on a fly's bum with perfect clarity.

With regular specs I can see the zit on the fly's bum on Mars. It's this in-between thing that bugs me. It's the old inflexible rubber muscle thing in the eyes turning into Bakelite.

Ah the joys of getting old...
