What do you with aging eyes do for a cheater in an auto darkening helmet?
I use my glasses but still can’t see as well as I like.

Have tried the Cheater inside lens sets, did not like as not close enough, still using my 1.5 cheaters under the hood, did lighten the auto dark feature a step at a time until could see without injury.

yes... if youi lightne up the setting on the "DARK" it helps a bunch.. Dont go below the "8" mark if you do much welding... Flash will eventually get to your eyes and make them sore... Many people use the 11-12 settings... Try the 9 and see if that helps. ....... and i keep my glasses on (bifocals) for the close up work.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I find I weld better without my bifocals because I never can get the correct angle to make my vision clear while wearing them.

I never liked the "cheaters" as the best focus area was never right for me.  I use a pair of drugstore reading glasses of the right magnification for my eyes under the helmet.  Much more satisfactory for me.  If I'm doing TIG welding I use reading glasses with one more power of magnification.  Works for me.
