Regular bifocals you have to tilt your head up 45 degrees to see close up. Close up being a few feet away. You end up feeling like Mr. Whipple "don't squeeze the Charmin". lifting your head like that is a dead give away you are no longer 25. THESE from Zeiss (only i think) have the middle part focused 2.5 feet away The very bottom is for a foot away. You use that a lot less. Your wrist watch. Keyboard. Leica M6. Unscrew front element of Zeiss lens. What ever happened with that? Mark Rabiner The very top part is about 8 feet away. So you can see the clock on the wall. YOu don't have to look over the frames. http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
