I think that you might need a new set of fingers to go with the lenses as your typing seems to have gone off as well.

Perhaps we should take up a collection to help defray the cost of new specs since Eric is unable to see the keys very well.

Couple of Nikon Macro lenses wired together should work fine.

:rofl:

Try some at the local chemists, I used a pair for quite a while and they were £5 at the time, I think they are about £7.50 or so now but a lot less than to figure you mention.

I have my screen at arms length, with my fingers straight out I don't quite touch the screen, try testing the glasses at the chemists at that range.

I have a different perscription between eyes....so I would need two different macro lenses.

OK, get two pairs and swap the lenses about, put the redundant pair on eBay! :devil:
