We've got our hands on 6 pairs of Eyejusters to give away!

Eyejusters are the near vision solution we’ve all been waiting for: Adjustable focus reading glasses. Eyejusters are a single pair of glasses to replace all your reading glasses.

The glasses have two small dials tucked behind the frame to adjust the lenses for each eye independently. They allow you to move the in-focus zone at any time to the desired distance. You can adjust the lens power from +0 to +3.00D, covering the range most commonly used in daily life. You need only one pair for all close-up activities.

You could also give the glasses away as a present for your husband or children, who refuse to get their eyes tested...

Eyejusters lens units have been developed and manufactured in-house, in the UK. The technical design fits into normal, stylish frames. For more details, take a look on Eyejusters' website.

Can you imagine a day without your reading glasses? To win a pair of Eyejusters (you get to pick you own style), tell us about all the activities you need reading glasses for these days.

This competition will close at midday on Friday 10 June.

I need these glasses for reading the small print on the competitions I try!!
Without glasses I can't thread a needle, read the newspaper, see prices on goods etc. etc. etc. !!

Map reading when I am out walking in the hills.

Reading, I pad, looking at maps and reading menus when I am out.

Oh, everything - laptop, books, letters. But recently I'm convinced that the supermarket has made the writing on the shelf edges much smaller than they used to be because I can't make out a word on them without my glasses!

Reading, using the computer, craft work (threading needles, making jewellery, etc, etc). Anything intricate with the pets (ear cleaning, etc). Sadly, getting to use them more and more :-/

Reading the ingredients and nutrition information on labels, do they print it small deliberately

I wear varifocals for convenience but only actually need them for close work, they're not great for reading in bed though. I have reading specs dotted all over the house and still sometimes can't lay my hand on a pair.

I've definitely reached the point where my arms aren't long enough grin Even telling the time on my watch is increasingly difficult.

Reading books,labels on clothes and food,threading a needle,using my tablet.

I use reading glasses for working on my laptop, sewing, reading, using my phone. I wear varifocals to drive as I need them for the distance but also need to be able to see the instruments but I cannot wear them to do the things that I use reading glasses for and I defo cannot wear the vari's all day like I should - they give me a headache if I wear them walking around. I would love to try eyejusters for close up stuff.

Reading the calorie value on the back of a Mars Bar!

I mislay my glasses often ( that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it !!)

I use reading glasses for shopping, using the computer and reading. I even need them when collecting my granddaughter from nursery as I cannot see the names on the paintings.

In the shops trying to check for certain contents for the different needs of the members of family and sometimes friends. Needlework, reading book/magazines, the list goes on. I have tried varivocals at great cost and just can't cope. I've resorted to glasses on neck chain but look so old and the glasses sometimes get knocked. Have to keep going back to get them adjusted from the constant on one minute off the next, these sound ideal if they actually are as simple as they sound.

Reading, reading ,reading!! I get through about three books a month. Also knitting and crocheting tiny things.Lots of toys for grandchildren, I am currently making Tim Peake!

I find supermarkets difficult when trying to read the small print on the labels. Also labels on clothes before putting them in the machine. It feels a chore to get my reading glasses out for these things.

dahlia08 Thu 12-May-16 10:17:10

I need it for reading, using my tablets, computer, sometimes in the kitchen, threading needle. I would love to win one for myself. X

Glasses are important for my day to day in everything otherwise whatever I would be doing is a blur

mrsrwalsh Thu 12-May-16 11:00:29

I have reading glasses which I only need to use at dusk or when house lighting is on. I can manage without them if I'm reading outside in the garden in sunlight.

mtp123 Thu 12-May-16 11:00:58

So many things I have them in every handbag and room! Seeing who is calling before I answer the phone, threading needles, putting seeds in compost, reading postcard adverts in the shop window, putting batteries in, for my Kindle etc etc. Just bought some recently that hang around the neck then clip together at the bridge. Brilliant for use in the kitchen and a bargain from China.

Off the shelf glasses are useless for me as I have astigmatism in both eyes. I swear by Zeiss varifocals, they enable me to read everything without changing glasses.

The very expensive ones automatically halve all caloric values smile

Ineed to read and follow recipes on my i pad

Knowsley Thu 12-May-16 12:04:32

I spend a lot of time on-line (I'm a Digital Champion helping others to to use computers and the internet) so my eyes become more tired during the day so adjustable reading glasses would be ideal.

sarah2000h Thu 12-May-16 12:29:17

I need my reading glasses for not only reading books but for doing family history research online. Also, I've noticed the papers seem to be using smaller print - or maybe it's just my eyesight!
