I use a 250. I have 6 pair floating around the house all the time. I've had cataracts removed from both eyes, and a lens put in. What a difference in colors !
As far as threading a needle for hand sewing, you can cut the thread so there is a blunt end, no stray fuzzy hairs. Pull the thread down between your thumb and finger so that only a small dot of thread is showing. Set the eye of the needle down on the dot and slightly push down, roll your finger and thumb up to catch the thread and pull up. Works for me. lol
