[CQ-Contest] Contester's Eyglasses

[Bob, W3IDT]

Extending the discussion of eyeglasses...

My eyesight is bad enough that one pair of progressive lenses would 
leave only a very narrow slit focused on any one distance (bi- or tri- 
focals would of course also leave serious nulls at many distances).

Solution: 2 separate sets of progressive lenses; one for "nearby", the 
other for "distance".  Over the recent decades I've now had, I think, 
four sets of such progressive pairs.  With some sets the corrections are 
such that the "nearby"  pair are my "normal" glasses, the others are 
essentially my driving glasses. At other times, the "distance" ones are 
my normal glasses, and the "nearby" ones used for computer / contesting 
/ reading.
