Your thoughts please . I am now finding that I am constantly switching from one pair of specs to another. For eg. Watching TV then wanting to read the TV guide , driving and wanting to glance at the sat nav on my phone. So many people seem to have difficulty adjusting to varifocals so really not sure what to do ?

I had an eye test today and was offered varifocals. I declined because my head is never still long enough to find the right position to focus, ('m always keeping eyes on dogs and DGC on the loose). The optician, Boots, didn't push it. I might be persuaded at a later date.
