Was persuaded to try varifocals a few years ago. Optician said one pair would do everything, driving, TV, reading etc. I could never get on with them for reading and then had to go and get some prescription readers.
Had an eye test recently and the optician said they have advanced so much and to try them again. So I forked out £500 for varifocals on the understanding I can get a full refund if they are not right. Just like the others I can drive fine with them and watching TV is perfect but when I try to read or use my IPad it is just not right.
I have the most expensive lenses, they react to sunlight with a sapphire colour, the lenses have been made lighter.
My husband swears by his and many friends do too but I have come across a few people who just never get on with them. As I read a lot and use my IPad a lot, struggling to read comfortably is spoiling my enjoyment. I have worn them all day today because hubby says I have to persevere and he cannot believe I am sitting here now wearing my old readers when my £500 pair are on the coffee table.
I fear I will be returning them and am so disappointed that one pair will not do everything. 😢
