Thanks everybody for the advice. I have an auto darkening mask from TSC, I'll
look into getting a magnifier insert.

Frank,
I also wear bifocals and had a hell-of-a time trying to weld with my glasses
on. So I'd take them off, but still couldn't see too well. Then I got a 2x
insert
for my helmet, and that helped a lot. I still wasn't wearing my glasses.
Then one day I was trying to help a friend learn to weld, and had my glasses
on, when I lowered my mask. WOW, with the 2x and my glasses I could actually
see for the first time - in a long time.
I also have had to have a pair of glasses made so I can read the computer
screen. I haven't tried them under my helmet yet, but I think that might
help
also.
