varifocals

I love my varifocals, wouldn't have anything else now, been wearing for about twenty years.
When I was teaching, I used to have a pair of glasses on my head and one on my face. It was such a faff and I was always either losing or breaking them, until my optometrist DIL persuaded me too change.

The only things I initially had problems with when I first got varifocals were
Walking downstairs.
Working with spreadsheets.
I just persevered and now it’s not a problem. They have improved immensely in the last 25 years, but they are expensive. I hope you can get used to them, but it’s what you find is best for you.

I understand where you are coming from but it maybe that you are not yet ready for wearing varifocals all the time.
I too, read with my readers in bed, using the laptop or reading the kindle and peer over them when something comes up on the tv! It is just more comfortable but I'm also gradually finding that when out and about that varifocals are better for the distance, driving and being able to read ingredients when shopping in the supermarket.
There will come a time when I will need to wear varifocals all the time but I'm not giving in gracefully!!

I wear them all the time but a few years ago I had a pair where the lens had been thinned to fit some thin lightweight frames. They just didn’t work for me.

Changed back to thicker lenses with unthinned and no problem.

Do you know if your lenses have been thinned?

I can read for a short time with mine ! But luckily I can read without glasses so off they come , I get a sore neck from looking through the bottom of my varifocals ,

You must persevere ….wear it continuously and I promise, you will get used to it. I love mine. Good luck !

I’m the same, Primrose. I find the varifocals bend the screen on my iPad and need to move my head all the time to be able to read a screen. So it’s varifocals for outdoors and reading glasses indoors.

Never had a moment's difficulty with mine. Used to pay in the region of £450 and then I found out that Asda did specs on admiring those on two different ladies. I'm now so happy with my own pair which cost £100. Better late than never for me in this case.
