[Magdalen] Well, whadaya know! - New specs

[Jay Weigel]

Both my contacts are multifocal, but one brand are "torics" for
astigmatism. I wear that one in my left eye and a regular softlens
multifocal in my right, I couldn't drive at night with the torics in (and
it was a little difficult in the daytime) but I had difficulty with close
work or prolonged reading with the others. This works well even though I'm
right-eye dominant. For jewelry work I have special craft glasses that are
made to my specs with contacts in; I don't know how it works but the
company that makes them (craftoptics.com) are specialists at it.
