I need readers for small print and dim light but otherwise don't wear glasses. Readers can be a hassle and my usual solution is cheap-O's on a lanyard hanging around my neck, but this occasionally gets tangled up in pack straps, branches and the like.

I located these dual solution readers for about $15-. What I think I will like: very thin and light, hard thin carrying tube for protection (to go in shoulder pocket while hiking or pants pocket aroung camp), flip-top tube so no lost cap and one-handed operation, carrying tube is also an ink pen (which I also carry for notes on the back of my maps). I've ordered these and hope they work as well as I anticipate. Link:

I used to carry readers instead of my prescription glasses. I found a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses with a reader bifocal. This is what I use now. The sunglasses are expensive, but the most comfortable I have ever worn. When it gets darker, I do need to use a Photon II to read.

The glasses at .6 ounce are a great multi-purpose solution for me.
