Thread: bifocals

Hey Kilo
I as of late have been finding it harder & harder to see up close & personal as well. I could never shave with my cheaters on so what I did was buy a magnifer mirror to see up close. I have that mirror inches from my melon & I love it. It also keeps me from leaning over the sink at the wall mirror.



And yes my shave den is pink Insert joke here______________________________________________ ___________.

Too bad you were not going deaf, then you could use Killowattidyousay?

I have been in bifocals for 40 years. I have learned to shave sans glasses and it has not been an issue for me. I am always
around 20" from the bathroom mirror.

I purchased a pair of readers to shave in. Works great!

i wear em also , it bugs me also , i do alot of feeling and guessing !! i assume ill develope a certain way that makes it easier though !!

I've been wearing them for 20 years and I also shave without them. I can see well enough. I guess it really depends. We aren't all using the same prescription.

Unfortunately, I have been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old. When I take them off, I can barely see if there is dirt in my fingernails at arms length.

I kind of like the magnified mirror deal. I'll try this and remain open to any other ideas.

Thanks guys.

Even though your prescription is for multi-focal glasses, shaving is done at a fairly constant distance. As long as you don't also need a major correction for astigmatism, etc, a pair of drugstore readers of the desired strength may be all you need for shaving.

A magnifier mirror isn't a bad idea either, and you can also get them with battery-powered heating elements build in for a fog-free shave.

If you have complex prescription with multiple corrections, you can ask for a task-specific set of glasses.

I'm too blind as a mole and wear glasses.
I've found 2 possible solution for my STR8 shave
1. Keep the weepers lower than the earpiece of bifocals
2. Close eyes and rely on your skin response.

I've try the second variant 3 times and amazingly found out that the shaving was even better then usual.
But to be honest - I was scared out in process.
I call it "blind shave" and plan to elaborate it
