Swing Arms Redux

Tom Skinner
Hello Again, Group,

Wow, I didn't expect so many replies and so much wisdom of experience.

I've been using an optivisor knockoff for a couple of years, and while it
works, it is quite uncomfortable.

I think I'll go that route with a real one. I must admit the photos make
them look more comfortable.

I may wind up getting both.

Boy, I wish I knew then, what I know now about Lasik. When the doc said I
would need reading glasses I thought, "well, I need glasses to read anyway".
What he never said was that my closeup vision would go away completely. I
used to be able to take the glasses off for really close work, but not
anymore. Ahh the power of 20-20 hindsight.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for all the replies and advice.

Tom, W3QS

        I'd try the Optivisor first Tom. Then if you feel you need the swing
arm magnifier, you haven't invested a whole lot and, you will still like
using the Optivisor. They really are pretty comfortable, at least for me.
