Subj: [kl] Progressive lenses (was RE: Speaking of diaphrams)
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 1999 06:00:04 -0400

I wear progressive lenses which are completely useless at typical music
stand distances. Luckily I find that for now I can see best at that
distance without any glasses at all.

A more serious problem for me is that I suffer from a lot of 'floaters'
in my eyes, little fuzzy blobs that drift about as I move my eyes and
can blur my vision slightly if they drift into my line of sight. If
this happens just as I reach a tricky passage it can be disastrous, and
would be a major problem if I was trying to earn a living with my
clarinet. The only solution seems to be to learn anything risky off by
heart (which can be beneficial anyway).

As far as I know they are incurable, does anyone know otherwise?
