If you’re like me and thousands of others, we all have one thing in common; we wear glasses to make our vision better. Not only that, many of us have dual-vision glasses with reading lenses at the bottom. This is what I have had for many years and thanks to an Optometrist who had experience with commercial drivers, he had recommended that I have the “focal-point” for the reading glasses set so it was at the end of my arm’s length.

What this did was to allow me to sit in the driver’s seat and see the instruments perfectly clear through the bi-focal lenses without moving my head forward; all I had to do was to look down.

Why do I bring this up? Well I recently purchased new glasses and forgot to mention to the Optometrist that I drive large vehicles and need the bi-focal distance to be set out about 36 inches so I can see the dash instruments. It was when I put on the new glasses and could NOT see the dash instruments that I realized what a great tip this is for any large vehicle driver. My new glasses will be here soon.
