    Most stupid question prize winner (Eyeglasses category)

    I've used the magnetic Clic glasses and love them. The have an added benefit of being easy to put on and off when I'm wearing my CPAP mask so I don't have to take off the mask. I have to wear progressive focal glasses now (unless I want multiple pairs of glasses) and I make sure the up close...

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?
