Hard to believe, jim. With that "technology" you might as well paw
through the Lion's Club free box until you find the right pair :>) My
optometrist wrote a prescription for perfect distance vision with
progressively worse closer vision until very close where I just peer
over the top.  Another prescription for great mid distance vision at the
expense of far distant and very close, good for indoors. He also told me
I needed a -1.75 for my camera which he could cut but said -2.0 was
probably good enough which it is. And all in one visit and one price.
