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.

Need my reading glasses for all the usual things but mostly for deciphering the small print you find on so many things today, i.e. documents, credit agreements, oil bottles and even the instructions that come with things I've bought!

I have one pair for reading, another for the computer, another pair for cross stitch and embroidery, all these are 'off the shelf readers'. Then there is a pair of prescription varifocals I wear for when out shopping.

For reading, writing, sewing, knitting, I need my glasses so I can find my other glasses, I need to see the number on the front of the bus so I can put my hand out in time to stop it, I need my glasses to read tiny price tags in the shops. My husband stopped me buying a jacket I thought was a bargain for £40 and it turned out it was actually £400, I would have been so embarrassed at the till. I need my glasses to recognize people in the street who say hello to me and their faces are blurred without my glasses. I need my glasses for the theatre and for the.cinema and for the TV, I need my glasses, please I need my glasses, I really really do need my glasses. Please!!

I spend all my time hunting for my glasses. I am forever losing them around the house. I can't see them if I'm not wearing them! Does that make sense??

pc,reading and sewing crafts ,they sound great

all the food packaging in the supermarket and recipe books

I use my reading glasses for reading, of course, using my computer/tablet and for when I crocheting and jewellery making. Adjustable lenses would be great as I could then have the close up vision when I need it whilst doing the more intricate tasks.

Handy in a supermarket trying to read the back of packets with tiny print

FranT Sun 15-May-16 17:18:24

I've tried varifocals & bifocals, but just can't get used to them, therefore have both reading and distance glasses, but get really frustrated swapping them over. I wear my reading glasses around my neck with a cord, but apparently this ruins them. I use these for reading, computer work and my mobile phone, reading labels and instructions, any close work like threading needles, eyebrow plucking, applying make up and endless other things, whereas my distance ones mainly for watching telly and driving, therefore these Eyejusters seem to be the ideal solution!

Venus Sun 15-May-16 17:21:33

I need them for looking at messages on my mobile phone, which is pretty much throughout the day. The instructions on tablets and medicine bottles seem to get smaller all the time! It's a hard job reading them. I spend a lot of time at my computer and the Eyejusters sound the perfect answer to all my problems.

Using the laptop

Liz46 Sun 15-May-16 21:32:35

I used to thread needles for my mother and now I need someone to do it for me! I keep a cheap pair of reading glasses in the kitchen drawer so that I can read the small print on bottles and packets. 'Use by' dates are a problem.

How does one enter the competition? Have I missed a link to click on?

JessM Mon 16-May-16 10:01:35

Everything from looking at the milky way to trying to read the tiny print on small packages, with lots of tech devices in between. Just used a needle in my left hand to extract a splinter in my right index finger. Not a hope without reading glasses.

GrAnne2 Mon 16-May-16 10:07:03

More to the point: what don't I need them for?!! Presbyopia is another of the joys of old age ... They are utterly indispensable for reading the grandchildren stories; wielding a remote control (successfully) and reading instructions in general and on medication (vital for grandchildren) in particular. Where would I be without them?

fatfairy Mon 16-May-16 10:10:17

Reading (of course), especially the very tiny print on small products. And making mosaics, which is my passion: difficult to cut accurately when everything is a gentle fuzz. And as for spotting shards of glass ... don't get me started!
My right eye isn't bad, my left is pretty useless, so I always need prescription glasses.

Nonnie Mon 16-May-16 10:15:16

I have different glasses for different things. My prescription ones are useless for reading in bed because the varifocal bit doesn't seem to like me lying down! When driving they sit on the top of my head, I have to have my laptop and Kindle at just the right position and for TV they are sometimes on and sometimes off! Yes, I would like one pair which would do everything please.

granjan Mon 16-May-16 10:16:01

Where do I begin? The list is endless. How can I not need them!

maureenm48 Mon 16-May-16 10:18:16

Threading a needle/computer/labels.

gardenbirds Mon 16-May-16 10:19:59

Reading labels smile

creativz Mon 16-May-16 10:20:42

Lowery1960 Mon 16-May-16 10:38:32

ivy67 Mon 16-May-16 10:48:05

Coppernob Mon 16-May-16 10:56:32

Reading to the grandchildren. Sewing.

kyalami Mon 16-May-16 11:02:00

I wear contact lens during the day but if I'm reading in bed I'm OK without but should I need to watch the telly or look up from my book I need my glasses. These Eyejusters would be great for the adjustments! :-)
