Re: (meteorobs) Re: meteorobs-digest V3 #231
I normally wear trifocals. I am near sighted in one eye and far sighted in the
other. I have had nonofocal glasses made for observing meteors. They are the
regular rimless glasses. I have had them coated for low reflectivity though I
cannot detect any advantage to the coating. I would recommend that you do the
same. I also have a pair of monofocal glasses made with an intermediate focal
length for use on the computer to save my neck.
