Bells up!

I thought I'd post here even though I'm an oboe player as it affects both sections...
So we're doing Mahler 1 this week, and I was wondering how high people usually do the bells up - over the stand or to the side? I was extremely disturbed to notice that when I put my bell up I can't see the music AT ALL due to my stupid bifocals (getting old is the pits). I was kind of holding my oboe to the side and reading out of the corner of my eye, but after reading an old string on the clarinet board I wonder if it isn't better to just memorize the few measures and put bells over the stand?

What have you done if you've played Mahler?
