Old Speckled Hen Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I need glasses to read( getting old) and have always just bought throw away ones from Primark. Recently I treated myself to a BOGOF offer from a high street specs shop and they are fine I have just started beekeeping and I need reading specs to look at the frames but I fall over my feet when trying to do anything more distant as my far sight is OK. It is impossible to retrieve glasses that have fallen off your nose (in the process of being pushed onto the head, like you do) into your beesuit. Any suggestions. Would bifocals work? Do they still make them? Are varifocals the way to go or should I just try putting the specs on a chain and fish for them through the veil. Aaaaarrrrgh I wonder if you lot can help me Are there any presbyopic beeks out there What do you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Ooh, a tricky one! I know what you mean about retrieving glasses, I have learned to clip my hair back because it's impossible to push it off your face once the suit is on, and as for blowing your nose ... I have varifocals, I got them last year and unfortunately I'm already finding it harder to read small print again, think I need a check-up! However they are fine for seeing frames with. I think it would be nigh-on impossible to take glasses on and off once the suit is on. Otherwise, how about a large magnifying glass? Edited to add: as this is on the Nesting Box here as well, I'll lock this one - otherwise you'll get two lots of replies in different places!
