[TPIN] Music Glasses

[Jack Taylor]

I have the same problem; however, unlike what is explained below, I think my
next pair of music glasses should have the INTERMEDIATE (for music reading)
Rx in the LOWER part of the bifocal.  and possibly raise the line of the
bifocal up somewhat.

That way I can read the music and still see someone out in the audience.

Ken,

That's exactly what I did. I made an intermediate pair that works great.
Single vision lenses work best for music and computer. I do ok out to about
8-10 foot, past that it gets fuzzy real fast. (I'm near sighted) I've done
the same for allot of my musician patients and it's the only way to go! The
only hassle is changing glasses. Every time I'm through playing I'll go into
the living room to watch TV and wonder why I can't see the screen.(Duh)
Sometimes we make glasses with a line bifocal and use the intermediate Rx
for the distance part(upper) and then you still have your full reading Rx in
the bifocal for small print which works good for computer and office work.

this drives me nuts, too. what do you do?  i'm thinking of getting
another pair of glasses set at about 4 feet.
