I did not want to wear these but I can see how by just dropping my eyes to work and looking up I will get the desired medium distance and magnification I need in one pair of glasses. It is very difficult for botanical artists to see the detail at the varying distances without some assistance for each purpose, I am really happy with them but it takes a little getting used to moving your eyes up and down rather than your head to view through the appropriate lens.

My progressive (tri-focal) glasses have never worked for the computer. The mid range area is never in the right place or big enough and causes neck strain, so I have a separate pair by the computer, just for that purpose. They work for art, too, as it's about the same distance range. I had a very hard time getting an eye doctor to make them. But once they did, working on the computer got a lot better!Cindy Schnackelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688594942182785865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-55014898051437661062013-07-03T16:52:40.034+00:002013-07-03T16:52:40.034+00:00Thankyou Katherine for that most interesting post....Thankyou Katherine for that most interesting post. At the moment I am juggling bi focals with a pair of computer glasses. It never occured to me that you could have glasses made to your specific needs. I paint at an easel and never seem to have the right focus.theartistsdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226003809268986249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-83397924918659569412013-07-03T14:21:59.099+00:002013-07-03T14:21:59.099+00:00Dear Katherine,
