Similarly - If I'm working with a view camera for an extended period  
of time (it's been a while - I miss those full days ;~(
I use a pair of small (end of the nose type), cheap reading glasses,  
which allow me to look over the top of them for distance.
Somehow I still need my "normal" glasses near by for related tasks.  
Just can't seem to find the "perfect" solution for all "seeing." ;~)
Spent the first 2/3rds of my life with perfect sight from very close  
to great distance.
