i had lasik done about 20 yrs ago and they told me that as i got older, my close up vision would deteriorate. they were right.
i carry cheater glasses in the truck, but really dont like carrying them when hiking and out and about on trips. cheater glasses are just magnifying glasses in a frame, so i got thinking about how handy just a monocle type magnifying glass would be. i ended up on amazon and found a nice leather wrapped monocle that hangs around my neck that i can pull out from under my shirt and use as needed. nice to read maps, etc. i also used it to start a fire, so i guess it is an overland tool to a point since it aids in vision AND starts a fire.
i figure there are a lot of the older folk on here that cant see worth a crap up close anymore and might appreciate something like this. it is a pretty handy thing to have...
