Kathleen: My vision problem is that my focus seems to vary from time to time making my tri-focal glasses ineffective. The lenses are cut for reading at book distance, reading the computer monitor and far distance. Sometimes (more often than not), I can't see clearly and have to push the glasses tight to my forehead to see better and other times I have to refocus in my brain and start over. As I re-read what I wrote, it sounds clunky but it's the best I can do. Sorry Paul In a message dated 8/15/2009 2:00:27 A.M.
