Wow, that sounds like a great idea. I think I will talk to my doctor about it. I wear mono vision contacts but both my distance and my close up vision are compromised by wearing the mono vision. I do wear store bought readers over my contacts but still not good enough. When I take out my contacts, I too can see great detail up close, but then it has be right up to my nose, haha. And yes, terrible headache from doing this. I also had a torn retina and was told it is like a 90% chance this will happen in my other eye.....a very common thing for near sighted folks. So....if your vision grays out or you see a million dots, go to the doctor immediately!! Do not waste any time. Had laser surgery to fix the tear. I worry that I won't be able to quilt when I get older (I'm only 54). Our eyes are so important, aren't they?

So the top of the glasses are set to 26" and bifocal area to 18". I just know it works, have no idea how its done.
