Mojo,

Yes, I have had the same problem seeing the music but it is much the same as what I experience with the computer. I do a lot of academic writing which required looking at the screen and then glancing down at a hard copy of a book or journal article for transposing sentence/paragraph citation to a word processing document.

I shared this problem with my ophthalmologist on my last visit. He said that I needed what are called "office glasses" or in some areas, computer glasses. The larger part of the lenses are set for ~26 inches and then the insert is set for very close distance when looking down. These work great for music although the distance vision (to the conductor) is not as sharp. These glasses are great particularly since you can see two pages idea by side easily.

He also told me that I should always keep a set of single vision glasses (a couple of bucks) in my case as a backup.

HRL

PS The neck does get in the way and one must often have the bass turned a little to one side so you have a clear view of the music.
