Re: varifocals
Persevere Doglover - I have had varifocals for many years now. Once you get used to looking out of the right part of the lens by adjusting your head (but not too quickly at first) I think it is much better than having to have two pairs of specs. My opticians were very good and said that if I had them and found I couldn't get on with them then I could go back to two pairs and they woudn't charge me for the varifocals. Luckily it was fine, but it does take at least a couple of weeks before you are properly adjusted to them.Re: varifocals
I agree with Aerolor - persevere. I got my first pair of varifocals just over a year ago. They were a bit weird at first, but I persevered and I now absolutely love them.Re: varifocals
Like John I am also quite short-sighted, but I always wore contact lenses until 10 years ago. When I went back to specs I found I couldn't read with them on and was continually looking over the top of my specs at people. Folks said I looked like a strict schoolmistress. That was when I changed to varifocals. The optician said close vision often improves with age if you are short-sighted. I now find that it is easier to read without specs, so I think my close work eyesight must be quite reasonable these days and a big advantage is that I can snuggle down in bed and read without thinking of where my spec have gone. Trouble is - my eyes get tired more quickly these days.Re: varifocals
What a lot of varied answers, thanks. I did go to Dolland and Aitchinson. I used to use specsavers but didnt like them so I changed. The service was great, they were very helpful and said to go back if I have problems, but she said to try them 3-4 days. Ive now tried them for about 4 days but not all the time. They are slightly better but Ive had to take them off now to go on the computer. I really cant see on the PC.. I can see the TV better without them too.Re: varifocals
