let us know how those work. Never tried them.
Stick on lenses have worked great for me.

Stick-on lenses have NOT worked for me. They are optically inferior
and don't stay in place (edges coming up). Do yourself the favor of
buying glass lenses fit by an optician that are measured to your face
shape and your eye specs.


I had some minor success with them, but now I use "sunreaders"
(sunglasses with a magnifying section at the bottom of each lens that
makes it look like you have bifocals. That section can be selected over
a 1 to 3 diopter range. I prefer the sunreaders with no or low tint on
the bottom (so it's easy to read the PDA). Prices range from $10 to
$50+, with the one $10 $20 ones working fine for me.

I tried the stick-ons but couldn't get them in the right place, and they
peeled after a few weeks.
