Hi Al,

Yes. I find that I am constantly tilting my head upwards to focus in on the computer screen. And with a book, I am constantly moving my head side to side.

Something to be said for comfort

Richard, welcome to the progressive bifocal cohort. I have two recommendations:

1. Get progressives optimized for computer screen distance and reading. They make using a computer much more comfortable than finding that sweet spot.

2. Get pure reading glasses. I no longer try to read with my standard progressives. It’s much more relaxing to use prescription reading glasses.

This means two more pair of glasses to carry around, but the vast increase in comfort is well worth it.

Cheers, Al.

Oh, I read you (!!!) and understand. When I travel I like to read shilling shockers (that dates me and places me) and in the upper crust of British country house detective stories, peopled by the well educated, there are so many literary references that I am lost without my Bartlett’s and my Benet’s Reader’s Encycloperia. l need them with me. If they are available in an e-reader I’d go for it.

However, my eyes are going and I need good sized type and high contrast, or a good combination of the two. Pleae tell us (me) how your Sony PRS-300 does with this problem.
