[Stellatum]

I'm 47, the age for bifocals. But they're not working for me. My neck is weak, and I need to be able to see out of any portion of the lens so that I can rest my head while I read. In addition, even though my eyes are only mildly affected by MG, I feel the strain if I have to read with them held pointed in a downward position.

This is driving me nuts. My plan is to keep my distance glasses so I can (for instance) watch a movie lying down, or with my head resting back; use my bifocals only when I have to (when I'm teaching, and need to be able to look between my textbook and my students' faces); and buy from a cheap internet site both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of computer glasses (for mid-distance).

That makes four pairs of glasses. Is this really necessary? Am I imagining all of this neck- and eye-strain--will I get used to it if I give it some time?
