Fw: [TPIN] music glasses

[Tim Peters]

My problem is that with my music glasses I can see the music perfect but sometimes I still can't read it. 
I have been an optician for 28 years and I'll tell you that glasses are just like what y'all told me about mouthpieces. What works for one doesn't work for all. It's whatever works best for you that counts.

I do the same.
Put my bifocals in the case on my stand tray, and change into the single 
lense reading glasses. Prescribed by my eye doctor by me taking my music 
stand to the exam.
