I used to be in the eyeglass profession.
This is NOTHING special. Contesting glasses are the same exact thing as
Digital TV Antennas. There are no such things.
Contesting Glasses are simply the exact same "readers" but with a
strength level that provides best focus at your desired distance.
I am wearing a pair right now! Keyboard and monitor as well as radio are
at a typical contesting distance. And are perfectly crisp. Without the
glasses blur blur blur.
DON'T BUY expensive ones either! Mine are like Baeofengs, I get mine at
a local grocery store. They have a display of like 100 glasses with all
sorts of various strengths.
Simply put one on and see how you can see at the desired distance.
Adjust strength as needed for best clarity.
Mine? cost $1.99 yeah 2 bucks.
One thing tho, These Cheap Glasses, or even the "Contesting" Glasses
will NOT help you if you have astigmatism.
If you have astigmatism, only a optometrist can design a pair of glasses
for your contesting needs. Because of the non Spherical curvatures that
will be needed in the lenses to fix the eyes astigmatism. You can not
buy those off the shelf from anywhere at any price.
