Looking at the wrong things

I guess it's an object-lesson in the fact that the purchase of consumer durables can only be a disappointing experience

When did you last go to an optician?

[hirez]

Last week, which is the reason for the new spectacles. And the reason for the spectacle-shop visit was the procession of migraines the week before.

[sammason]

Oh I see. So perhaps you just need to get used to the new specs.

I'd never heard of trifocals before. Gosh.

My optician tried to interest me in a pair of 'desktop varifocals' designed to accommodate screens and reading and walking about in three zones. I tried them, and while they did work at all the ranges they only did it in a vertical stripe in the middle, which is no use when you have multiple monitors.

I currently favour sitting a little further away from a bigger monitor.

Trying to read SFX still makes my brain hurt

That's not you, that's just SFX.

You're not the only one whose brain went there...
