Bifocals
There are none so blind as those who won’t wear bifocals.

Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete
Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the ‘head-tilt’ struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of infrared eye tracking and liquid crystal-transparent indium tin oxide glasses

Another #MechanicalKeyboard milestone: I have taken my failing #Microsoft4000 #ErgonomicKeyboard off my desk, leaving just my little DIY 36-key keyboard (and a vertical mouse).
This was actually prompted by my optician suggesting that as my close vision has deteriorated slightly, I should try glasses with a reading wedge (baby #bifocals) and the monitor lower down so I look at it through the lower part of the lenses. I need to sit straight now!

Packing for Europe AND for my daughter's out-of-state graduation. If anyone sees my bifocals, I'd be grateful!
(Thankfully, the older prescription is still viable... -ish...)

Holy crap.
So, yes I'm old enough to need #progressive (read #bifocals) lenses in my #glasses. Spurred by this weekends *breaking* of my non-tinted pair, I finally went for an eye-exam for the first time in nearly 5 years.
The frame alone is $350 (thanks #Luxottica Group S.p.A monopoly asshats)** **and the lenses are $275 each.
And guess how much the benefits cover: $250 every 24 months. Do unspent amounts rollover? nope.
*Tragically, few #optometrists have layaway or installment plans.*
