Re: prandt!mike@AMES-NAS.ARPA, on health hazards from VDTs--
>Anybody know an optician who makes special glasses 'optimized for

As a bifocal wearer who got tired of looking at fuzzy screens (which
are at the distance which seems perversely WORST, at the boundary
between the near and far ranges), I finally bought a pair of
TRIfocals, and they are WONDERFUL.  Any bifocal wearer who spends
much time in front of a CRT should order some immediately; any
optician can make them, but they don't usually tell you about them
unless asked.

They also can make CONTINUOUS-focus lenses.  I'm not sure how good
these are-- they don't seem to be able to use much af the lens area
in the critical middle-distance range-- and I would love to hear from
any other over-40s who need bifocals and have tried these or other
innovative eyepieces.
