This pair are cheapos compared to my last pair which I wore more often. Those had coated lenses, which unfortunately, scratched much too easily but cut down more on glare.
I rarely wear my glasses anymore and prefer contacts. However, the older I get the more I wish I could do without any correction at all. I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade and have always had a hate-hate relationship with them. -Brendan --- Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For this and other reasons, I had a special set of > high-quality > glasses, with relatively large lenses, made with > prime focus distance > set for my nominal distance to the monitor.
