    Default Bifocals or other glasses solution ? Help!

    okay, well I'm 45. My vision is still pretty darn good (don't wear glasses to see). When I try and tie on small flies, I can see the fly fine, however,
    now when I look up, everything else in the distance is really blurry and it takes a long time for that to go away. That is not good when you are trying to see a #22 midge emerger in a foam line.

    I'm not really that knowledgable about bifocals, etc... and all the available products out there.

    Should I carry a pair of reading glasses with me? (that seems like more crap to carry). Do they make "bifocal" non-prescription Sunglasses?

    What do people do? Carry an extra pair of glasses? Or are most older guys wearing prescription bifocals. I don't need glasses to see in my everyday life, it's just the strain of looking at something close up. When I tie flies I use the hobby magnifying glasses, and I use reading glasses to read.

    Vision is probably the first thing to go, I hope I don't need the little blue pills anytime soon.

    thanks for your help.
