Now that's an answer for the layman!

Must be some sort of .org record for a first-time spec wearer, at least :grin:

Thanks for that Jabba. If everything else goes down hill this rapidly I might not be with the Org much longer!

Alternatively, by the time the paper is at the right distance, the print is now so small I can't bloody see it!

Anyway, not knowing if I needed a magnifying glass or a telescope, I thought I'd get em looked at. And it's free in Scotland...

So the prescription is +6 and +5 and that's the question - how specky am I? Does the scale go 0-100 in which case I could get some reading glasses from the petrol station or does it go 0-10 in which case I should really be pricing up white sticks?

I must have short arms. My last test said +1/+1.25 but I have the same problem reading. Maps are the worst...
