Thanks for the inputs everyone!
However, I think I failed to word my question well.
I am wondering what would I check to make sure that it is 'Me' that is not
focusing the lens well rather than there being a fault in the 75 or the 90
tripping me up? and how I would check that?
This dang neurontin trips me up cognitively in odd ways sometimes. Part of me
knows I know what to check and how to check it, but I'm drawing a blank :-).
Rather draw blanks than not be able to walk!
Sincerely
Richard Ward
