I may look into some of these suggestions quite seriously as 2011 kicks in. The last year or two have found me squinting/struggling/adjusting more and more with the small and close stuff. Long distances, on the other hand, with my prescription polarized glasses remains fine. I even have a lighter pair for dusk's low light.
On a related note: I think those C&F boxes with threaders are great and intend to start using these more. The upside is that not only do they spare your eyes the "fun" but also speed things up. For example, you can have your box loaded with the key 6 flies or so for a local stream (on threaders). While the bite is hot you can "reload" more quickly if you break off a fish or a tree.
