Opus 2021-055: Ode to Old: Bifocals

I am not sure if bifocals are a good thing or a bad thing.  You can get the same effect with a second pair of glasses.  It just isn’t as convenient.

But there is a down side.  There are times when you are not paying attention that you see things through one part of the lens and think you are looking through the other.  This can cause steps to appear farther than they are.  It can cause stumbling and running into things.

If you don’t have bifocals yet, you will.  So don’t laugh at all us old folks as we look at the floor with a puzzled expression.  It could just be our spectacles playing games.  Of course it could be we are losing it.
