I have prescription glasses for general use that correct mild astigmatism and allow me to do most things (including reading the newspaper etc.) without problems. However +4 or even +5 'reading glasses' are very useful for me when doing things like soldering and other close D-I-Y type things. Reading glasses are **very** cheap, between £1 and £5 hereabouts so I have pairs scattered all over the place. (Oh, I'm approaching 80, so well above "50 years old") -- Chris Green ·
