    I agree with you.
    Lots of advice on this thread that basically details different ways to wear corrective lenses.
    I even tried riding with a magnifying glass and nearly crashed.

    As others have said, short of popping for some prescription lenses, just stop periodically to check your GPS and don't use it to navigate in heavy traffic.

    Default Short answer...

    Currently I wear 1.25 mag reading glasses.
    My Garmin GPS sits on a ramline ball mount on my F3s.
    If I wear my reading glasses the GPS is crystal clear but the road is blurry.
    If I don't wear my reading glasses the GPS is blurry but the road is clear.
    Other then going with bi-focal glasses are there any other options?

    NO

    If you wear a full face helmet with a flip-down shield. You can put the stick on reading glasses at the bottom. Not the best solution but it does work.

    They are just a clear flexible magnifying plastic card about the size of credit card. Try AARP or your local old folks home. I don't remember seeing them for sale, I remember they were given out as a complementary gift.

    Default Multifocal Glasses

    Been using for several years. Great for me. Recently had cataract surgery. Don't need glasses anymore except for very small print. Don't use glasses anymore when driving.

    Default safety glasses with magnification

    I too use safety glasses with reading magnification built in. I don't need glasses for driving, just magnification for reading the small text on the GPS/radio. For me, I find that the options of clear/amber/darker color lenses work well for me and I don't have to worry about losing or breaking them as they're easy enough to find or buy online and have a spare pair for minimal cost as compared to a custom solution.
