My age deficiency for distance and reading kicked in at age 40
simultaneously. It's like a lottery the optometrist said.
If you are lucky distance goes first then reading later.
If you are unlucky they both decline....well that's me.
Like Chris it REALLY frustrates me changing from glasses to non
glasses at the scope/keyboard/mnoitor/sky while doing astro.
At work the glasses are on all the time because I have a pair of
multifocals.
I suppose my point in a nutshell is, do they make multifocal contacts?
thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm in the same boat as you Steve. I have used contacts in the past but can no longer do so, because some long sightedness has kicked in, so I can't read anything when I have contacts in.
I have a cheap pair of designer glasses that I use bought purely for scoping. They can be thrown around and abused if need be. I don't need glasses at the eye piece but I struggle constantly lining up the red dot finder and seeing the sky. I found putting them on a rope around my neck was annoying too, because everytime I moved, the glasses would do a dance in the air and annoy me and hit the scope. So Now I have my card table right next to me and they get put down there instead of flung on the grass and stood on constantly with my older pair. It took one too many hits that pair.
