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 spin on my spinning wheel, dye yarns and fibres for my shop. Need to see really well to do this and I read SO much every day.My reading glasses are on and off all day, and I can't read labels on packaging anymore. It's frustrating.

I need my glasses for most things these days. Most of all for my jewellery making. Just now I am using seed beads for bracelets using a loom , and without my specs it is impossible. Before I had cataracts removed I was short sighted but now i am longsighted, and i am so disappointed by this, as I used to do lots of crafty things which I loved and now can't manage very well. These glasses which are the prize sound like just what I need, so fingers crossed.

I like the sound of these! I have one eye that needs a slightly different strength lens so although I wear varifocals during the day, I find them annoying when trying to read in bed. When I move they go out of focus. So I use reading glasses then, but can only read with one eye!! hmm

I use my reading glasses for doing anything on my smart phone, also when working on computer or reading just about anything. I can drive without them but can't really see the dials properly unless I put my glasses on.

Need reading glasses more and more these days...

Instructions on cooking for foodstuffs
makeup instructions
Tv watching

Love the idea of these being able to adjust the strength

Reading. Writing. Rithmatic.

The one advantage of being very short-sighted! I often take my (varifocus) glasses off if I need to do anything close or read something in small print. Actually, there are two advantages of being very short-sighted - until I put my glasses on in the morning, everything is a very pleasant blur! Oh, I've thought of another: when I have my hair done, I usually take my glasses off - and I look FABULOUS in the mirror (until I put them back on again).

My vision is fluctuated and hazy due to diabetes that I am suffering since many years ...I can not concentrate on things or read properly from day to day

I need my glasses for reading as I am sure my arms have got shorter over the years and I just cant hold things far enough away now! I need them for reading labels in supermarkets to spot things people are allergic too. For reading the meter book in our village hall and the contracts people send to us sometimes done in tiny writing. I need them to type up minutes for various organisations I have been daft enough to say I will minute and then to read them to check for spelling mistakes. I need to read instructions which seem to be on everything and need them for my hobby of genealogy looking at old documents and trying to fathom what they really say! I need them to thread my sewing machine to mend the little boy next doors school trousers and most of all to be able to read books and magazines for pleasure

Reading!

I use glasses for reading books and packaging, using a PC/laptop/Ipad, making phone calls, sewing and applying makeup if I haven't got a x10 mirror to hand. My partner and I have grab&go specs stations / magnifying glasses at strategic points around the house.

Reading ingredients on food, cosmetics etc, which seem to be designed to be unreadable even for those with good eyesight.

Glasses would help immensely with the dispensing of mother's medicines correctly

I'd like to try a,pair to see if it simplifies my life,

Vectensian Fri 20-May-16 22:40:35

I do have readers but they are often not enough for sewing, knitting, gardening doing puzzles with the dear GS, putting my earrings on and finding the butterflies, reading the small print on tins, or other ingredients, or seeing the dirt about the house!

Emelle19 Fri 20-May-16 18:43:44

One pair for computer work and a different - stronger - pair for reading.

McGilchrist41 Fri 20-May-16 15:30:44

I do have craft glasses but find they can still be at the wrong angle. I have varifocals which are not any good for close craft. This new idea sounds brilliant. Must try them.

I use reading glasses nowadays when reading emails on my smart phone - do I not have the right adjustment in place - but they all seem to come appear in such a small format? So is this an IT problem or a sight one?

Computing, reading, writing and craft work.

without not 'with'!

loopylou Wed 18-May-16 15:39:46

A day with my glasses would have to be spent in bed!
I'm unsafe to be left unattended without my specs ?, though I can read without them so a day spent reading......

wallers5 Wed 18-May-16 11:09:31

I need them for reading & on my pc. Looking at the satnav in the car etc. They look good!

lionpops Wed 18-May-16 07:41:05

To read on my kindle and to read the menu for hubby when eating out as he never remembers his?
