Progressive Transition  lenses...been known to walk into a few walls when coming in out of the sun light, slow to turn in the winter.

Since getting my cataracts fixed, all I need is reading glasses.
I can see again. Just can't read fine print or books.

I use progressive transition lenses too. Mostly at work, which is inside. The rest of the time I mainly use a single vision transition lens. Gotta watch those stairs when coming in from a bright day outside. . . other objects too.

I have been shooting and repairing muzzle loaders and black powder guns since I was 14 years old. The older guns were more user friendly when it came to disassembly and repair. They had to be.  Black powder firearms quickly fowled  with carbon residue and rendered useless if not cleaned regularly. These guns were put together with screws not pins. One could easily completely strip down a gun with a flat head screw driver and pliers. Try that with a Ruger or SW.

Yeah, me too, just readers. I use different strengths depending on the fineness of the work (150, 175,300).

I feel like an old librarian with my glasses down on the end of my nose...
