I have a shelf so I can have my two 19" monitors above the K3, rotor
control, SteppIR box, and paddle. The monitors are too high for my
"progressive" lenses, which are continuously variable from reading to
distance with no line (think analog instead of digital!). The shelf is 8"
(20 cm) above the desk top.
I have a set of what the optician called "office glasses." They are also
progressives, but the top part is for 2-3' (60-90 cm) or so. Actually the
top 2 mm is the real distance prescription, but it isn't very useful.
It's a nuisance to use two pairs of glasses but it works well for me. I
really like progressive lenses for the same reason I like a speed knob on a
keyer.

Mike,
Another solution is to have a pair of glasses for radio use. I have
set of bifocals which are used for computer and radio with roughly a thirty
inch focal length and reading at roughly fourteen inches. I find them very
convenient in the radio shack.

PS What have we come to talking this way.

Hi Joe:
Here's a low tech solution: "trifocals". I sit about 28" from my computer
screen and about the same from the K3. The middle range of my trifocals is
perfect. Same problem and solution for the speedometer on the car's
dashboard.
