Hi efish
My solution for reading glasses was to put them fully over my eyes and focus the tubes for them rather than the 'tip of my nose' solution which I tried first (couldn't focus in the ground cushion because I was looking down through the glasses).
With the glasses fully over my eyes, I could see through the goggles, up through the top of the glasses to see overhead switches and down through the bottom of the glasses to see instruments and radios. Only downside is when you de-goggle, you are looking through the reading glasses which isn't great for seeing the outside world.
Basically, goggles are for youngsters :-(
Cheers
