Re: [vcf-midatlantic] [OT] My eyes are aging - glasses recos for electronics work/small print reading?
Folks, I don’t normally need glasses for reading, but for electronics, especially surface mount stuff, I use a big lighted arm mount magnifier like Bill Degnan. I even have a couple of microscopes for really tiny stuff. I also have a variety of head mount magnifiers, hand held ones with and without lights, and a folding 5” one I take to workshops. All the portable ones have been misplaced several times each. Buying a replacement usually makes the lost ones reappear. I’ve used cheap reader glasses, but try not to keep them on for long as they give me headaches.

One last comment...the CostCo readers are indestructible. I recommend that brand. Bill On Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 10:22 AM Crawford Griffith via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
