Some insightful list member recently suggested that because of his problems in reading the monitor with bifocals he bought a pair of over-the-counter reading glasses. Thinking that his suggestion might be helpful for me, I called my ophthalmologist's office, asking that his nurse check my records and give me the reading strength of my trifocals. To my surprise, she called back to say the physician suggested a +4 level for reading a newspaper, etc., but for reading the computer monitor, he said a +3.25 would work better. FYI. A.
