Bifocal spectacles for computer users and display device therefor

Abstract

A polyvinyl display device for bifocal computer/reading spectacles. The display device enables a person to identify a pair of spectacles having the correct optical center to match the wearer's pupillary separation. The present invention includes, in combination, a pair of spectacles having two near focal powers and a new type of display mechanism that allows the purchaser to choose not only the correct power needed, but also the correct pair of glasses to match the user's pupillary distance (PD). Optical centers of finished reading glasses are marked, then a display device including an opaque polyvinyl static cling film having two, preferably round, holes therein is placed onto the glasses such that the holes in the film overlie the optical centers. When the user dons the glasses, if a solid round area is viewed, the spectacles have the correct size for the user's PD. If a figure eight or two holes is viewed, the PD is too wide. If the user views the outside edges, the PD is too narrow. By visual observation, the consumer can find the correctly sized reading glasses. The reading glasses preferably are fabricated in three different PD's, Narrow, 55-58 mm, Medium, 59-62 mm and Wide, 63-66 mm.
