Being a keen hobbyist, I came across a situation that required some work to be completed above my head. I needed to connect and install 12-volt electrical connections and wiring under a 1.1m high table, requiring me to work at a close range to fit the small wiring to connectors. But my everyday progressives are not that effective; not ‘fit for purpose’. Trying to tilt back far enough to use the near portion of my lenses in this sort of situation is nigh on impossible, making these tasks difficult and time consuming to achieve. So, I resorted to turning my progressive spectacles upside down. While there is an immediate benefit, they tend to fall off and become uncomfortable to wear after a very short while, so not really that practical for the task required.
