I have been using the drug store "cheaters" for several years. Work
great only cost $5-$15. Just go to the store and try on the different
powers and see which power lets you read at the distance you normally
use to weld. They are cheap enough to have several pairs in different
powers and locations.

While we are on the subject of welding, helmets, and the
autodarkening lenses, I have a question.
I wear bifocals. But when I weld, if I have my glasses on,
I can't see a thing, as I'm looking through the wrong lens.
Some have suggested getting a pair of reading glasses to
wear. This sounds like a good idea, but how do I figure
out what power? Should I get some that would allow me to
confortably read a book? I don't know how far I should
be from the material I'm welding.
Currently, I just take my glasses off to weld. But them I
really have to "eat" my work to be able to see. I think my
eyes are about 20-200 corrected to 20-20. I'm not sure
what the "close" lense is on my glasses.
What are the rest of you bifocal wearing guys doing?
