I need my çomputer specs, which are fairly large and nerdy, for 'doing stuff' (photo restorations etc).
So I intend changing the varifocals for bifocals.
This way I can look at TV and then read/use iPad at close range using one pair of specs and diddle around on here with my 'nerdies'
I decided it was them or me in the end and I won

Re: Specsavers
I was the other way round. After a couple of years of wearing bifocals,I decided to try varifocals. I must admit,it took around 6 weeks to get the hang of moving my head,rather than my eyes...but once I did get the hang,it became 2nd-nature. I couldn't go back now-these varifocals just cope with all distances,plus just by looking through the lower part,with the computer or books,too.25-05-2015, 10:24 PM

I thought doing it in one fell swoop would sort it all for me but I DO need to use my nice big lenses on the comp.
Appointment in a couple of days and hopefully I shall figure it all out ... watch this space

I am long sighted and used to wear specs with half lenses for reading so I could look over the top to see around me .
They were very good but as my sight has deteriorated I now have spcs for reading and middle distance.
