FWIMBW, Librarians use the same sort of upside-down bifocals for
looking up to read top-shelf book spines. (At least those librarians
who still deal in books, not computer terminals.)

So if your eye Dr. doesn't know what you are talking about, send
him/her to the Library.

Subject: [kl] glasses

I've been wearing trifocals for some time now and I'm having a
pair of bifocal glasses made especially for playing. They will
be like upside down bifocals, with eh little half moon on the top
being a distance lens, and the rest of the glasses being a
reading lens. This way I can see the music because I'm looking
through the reading lens, but when I have to look at the
conductor, I look up and through the distance lens.

Who else has ideas about glasses for the unsightly?
