Whirly, that's the way I started out. At first, I just got some reading glasses to read the fine print, got tired of that and got some plain bifocals, which worked for a few years, and I could see stuff in the 206 cockpit through either lens. Then I transitioned into the 412, and couldn't read some of the gauges in the center clearly through either the top or bottom, so I got trifocals. Those lasted for awhile, and eventually it got so there were some things I couldn't see really clearly through any of the three, and all the lines were a pain. I found the SmartSegs, and all my problems were solved. Now I can focus clearly on anything, at any distance.

I really wish I could still see as well as I could when I was 20, but the alternative to getting older isn't very attractive to me.
