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 them to read product information on food in the supermarket, to check cooking instructions, to read for pleasure, to read my medical prescriptions, to text my family...just about everything!

I particularly need glasses for doing crosswords and sudoku puzzles.

I need reading glasses for reading the anti spam filters on some websites. They are tiny and blurred and quite often I still can't see them and have to ask my partner to help!

I need them for reading labels on food products so I don't kill anyone with salmonella. Blind as a bat with out them

For reading small print

Have recently tried bifocals but don't get on with them - they are a real hazard when trying to negotiate stairs. I now need reading glasses for ALL close work, even reading cooking times from food wrappers and as I need a different prescription for each eye, these adjustable beauties would be a Godsend!

I need glasses to look for my glasses , I have the blooming things everywhere . I hate varifocals but I need a different prescription to watch the tv and especially the theatre where features are just a blur, these would seem the perfect solution as I have never got on with any that I have had on prescription, and have just given up and gone for readers .

My close-up sight is fine but it would be nice not to have to read everything for my husband because he has forgotten his reading glasses AGAIN !!!

I do have varfocals which I wear all the time. But when I retired I wanted to spend more time on needlework like cross stitch but can't see well enough with reading glasses or varfocals to do it. I also use to make tapestries and rugs using the traditional Portuguese arriolos stitch which using a sacking type material you count threads and do a type of cross stitch going 2 threads forward and one back keeping all the longer stitches in a line going in one direction. My mother in law made a carpet which was passed to me and I was hoping to make one for my daughter.i tried a large magnifying glass huge around my neck and balanced but every time I moved slipped. Eyeajusters would solve the problem.

Only reading... But I'm always reading!

To read small print

Small print instructions & sewing.

Venus Fri 03-Jun-16 22:14:26

I need them to read all the small print on various documents, nearly everything in the supermarket, computer viewing. Mobile phone texts particularly are hard to read, plus good old fashion cards and letters!

Reading, watching TV and computer work

I seem to be getting closer and closer to my laptop screen, which is not doing my back any good! But the best use of Eyejusters for me would be when I am am out and about when I am out and about in my wheelchair. Obviously, I don't need them to see where I am going, but when I get to the shops, I find that as I am some distance away from the shelves, I can't read the price tickets on the shelves.Unless I lean right over the front (I have fallen out a few times) I can't read the ticket that is levelwith my eyes, never mind the shelf above or below. An adjustable pair would save me from a)breaking my neck or b)asking somebody. It's bad enough asking people to reach things for you, without asking all the prices too!

General reading but I really need them to read the very small print on the back of cans, jars etc when I go shopping !

For reading and using the Internet.

leemw711 Mon 30-May-16 20:25:08

Lost my reading glasses recently - can still drive and watch TV but using computer or reading books (my favourite hobby) are currently impossible. Nothing left of this month's pension after paying the household bills so I would LOVE to win a pair of these brilliant specs!

angel1305 Mon 30-May-16 18:46:40

threading needles ! reading emails and any small stuff that requires clear site.

peanutmum Sun 29-May-16 19:07:06

Of course for reading, its amazing for how much now.
If I use a kindle, I can alter the font size, but that's not possible for newspapers !
When shopping, food labels have got smaller !!!!!! need a magnifying glass by the shelf !!!!! Very important looking for allergy information for grandchildren.
Its OK when home but if I've gone out without anything, then only part of the World is available to me.
