   I was very nearsighted too and didn't need optics to check soldering. I   
   could read the state names on the cornice of the Lincoln Memorial on a $5.   
   With age my sharp focus moved out to reading and computer distance and far   
   vision improved. Viewing a distant object through a small hole  between my   
   thumb and two fingertips "stops down" the outer part of incoming light and   
   improves sharpness.
