    I tried using bifocals once… but they made me dizzy. I finally just got two separate sets of glasses. One for reading and the other for distance.

    I remember a story of a lady as a young girl. Once a week they would have art class. She really looked forward to that art class. On this one particular day, the teacher taught the students to draw trees. What the teacher showed the students to draw was a green lollypop on a brown stick. At least that is how the “tree” looked. The lady had said that she looked at what her teacher had drawn and said to herself that that wasn’t a tree. Her tree was drawn wild with many branches and in such colors as purple and green and red and brown. It probably looked more like a “real” tree than the teacher’s green lollypop on a brown stick, but she was told that she had to draw her tree like the teacher showed her. She dutifully drew a tree that looked like a green lollypop on a brown stick, but in doing so, her love of art was lost. Coloring outside the lines doesn’t mean the child is “dumb” when it comes to art. It may mean they have their own vision. Teach kids techniques to draw better, but let them explore their creativity. You might be surprised with the results. So, way to go Grandpa. I’m with you all the way; bifocals or no bifocals.
