I am interested to see how this turns out, no pun intended. I use glasses for computer, reading, etc. and can read/see fine with out them - just squint a little.

I bought my last 3 pairs over ~10 years maybe from 'My Eye Doctor' chain. Same place I have the tests done. I am happy with them. Glasses are expensive!! forget your Ti wolfman. Are local places within similar price or really 2x-3x the price?
