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 my glasses for everything now. Without them the world is just a big blur. Slowly developing cataracts too, which makes things much worse.

Everything close! Find it so difficult if I've forgotten my glasses when I go to the supermarket. Can't read a thing on the labels. Frustrating!!!

Mainly anything I need to see! It's either use reading glasses or develop six foot long arms to hold whatever it is I want to see/read... I can't even colour inside the lines any more! As for jigsaws, threading needles, plucking eyebrows, reading minute instructions printed on to a tiny little eye drops bottle (what is that all about?!?!) .... the list is endless

Reading glasses should be sold in packs of six then, when I am reading, doing patchwork, squinting at the computer, deciphering the phone messages, and trying to find a teenie weenie number in my phones memory I can just stretch out and there they will be! And as an added bonus, as my long distance specs are generally under my nose but playing hide and seek then I could put on these to find them.
Oh, and taking out splinters from tiny fingers, helping with homework, and finding other half's tablets which he has dropped somewhere.

To send a message. Omg. I can barely see the letters on my keypad.

for reading user manuals, small print and using my laptop

lillyfer Tue 17-May-16 11:57:57

reading, using the computer and the odd game of bingo

I use my reading glasses when checking labels at the supermarkets, I`m on my laptop, cooking from a recipe book, writing postcards from holidays, checking my mail and when reading the newspapers and books. I just feel lost without my glasses.

If I forget my reading glasses - that's when chaos ensues - at the supermarket etc.
I make up what I can't read with interesting consequences........

BillysMummy Tue 17-May-16 06:18:24

I need these glasses as I am sometimes making my morning coffee with gravy granules ! Please help ! ????????

After having glaucoma which, of all days, showed itself on Christmas Eve 2010, my glasses are now inside my eyes, via replacement lenses inside my eyes. For the last five years, I have not needed to wear glasses all day and am now reaching a need for reading glasses. These are needed for that niggly minute print that comes with instruction sheets and reading the contents on 'new to the market' foods. Oh - and threading needles!

northernfi Mon 16-May-16 22:27:17

I need help to keep my tweezers steady and seek out those pesky facial hairs that spring up overnight!

Savagerose Mon 16-May-16 22:04:32

I need glasses to give my other half, as he's convinced his arms have shrunk because he can't hold his paper far enough away to read it anymore confused

Isobelw Mon 16-May-16 21:58:44

I have a pair of reading glasses in each room. I need them for reading, computer work and reading the small print on food packaging.

Grannyjacq1 Mon 16-May-16 19:21:16

Reading, computer, laptop, shopping - just living, really!

Playing bridge

Gypsyqueen13 Mon 16-May-16 18:03:58

I don't need reading glasses but my husband does. He uses them when he plays Bridge, when he uses his mobile phone and laptop and for reading too. He would love to have the chance to try these.

Dianic Mon 16-May-16 17:09:40

I need them for reading numbered bar codes at work and for seeing small print that "they" don't want you to read, before signing docs. Plus, of course, I like to read at night in bed!!

leemw711 Mon 16-May-16 17:04:43

Would love to win a pair of these specs. Lost my prescription reading glasses last week and am lost without them but can't really afford new ones from my tiny pension. As a retired librarian I am desperate to be able to read again (and yes, I know losing mine was entirely my own fault...)

Lona Mon 16-May-16 16:57:24

Great idea! I need new reading glasses as mine just fell apart!

Hameringham Mon 16-May-16 16:54:18

Just simply so that I can read with ease and enjoy one of life's great pleasures.

Grannycupcake Mon 16-May-16 16:38:13

The most important thing I need them for is reading the small writing on pills, and foods in 'bargain' supermarkets, where they 'helpfully' put the ingredients in five or six languages. I have a dairy intolerance.

jeberdes83 Mon 16-May-16 16:30:37

I have macular degeneration in my left eye only. Have had 3 injections, but they haven't helped. My eye was damaged some years ago when I had an operation for detached retina. I do wear reading glasses for all the usual things, reading , computing etc, but do really need separate lenses for each eye!.

Granny2 Mon 16-May-16 15:54:13

I need them for reading my ebooks, internet, eating my food, cooking my food, My eyesight is deteriorating, age related I expect, I need glasses for looking at anything closeup. I didn't used to need them till I had a cataract removed.
