Some of us Church Organists are having a discussion about reading the music and seeing the choir and choir director.

Rebuild Your Vision:


This person has 3 ways of seeing:

1) Contact lenses for nearsightedness, and reading glasses for up close work.

2) Bifocals for when for when NOT wearing the contacts.  It is nearly impossible to see music on a piano or organ console with these.

3) A special pair of bifocals that have a bigger portion for reading close, with a smaller portion for the distance (at the top). This lets the person read the music, and look up and see the director.   You can get your glasses fitted for special distances! They can help make custom lenses for you.

An elderly player says that she now has the right contacts,  bifocals, that work o.k. but she is worried for the future.

When I first started wearing drugstore reading glasses, I told my choir director that I could see him or I could see my music, but not both!

I believe this is a big problem for who are starting to suffer from age related vision problems
