Guest guest Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I've been wearing bifocals for five years now and I've had no problems working at the computer. I simply adjusted the position of the monitor so it is further back and i use the larger, distance portion of the glasses instead. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Taras () Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 8:36 PM Subject: Re: Re: Bifocals Thank you.
