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 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

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

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!

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........

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.

reading, using the computer and the odd game of bingo

angiehoggett Tue 17-May-16 12:20:27

for reading user manuals, small print and using my laptop

Kempsy3 Tue 17-May-16 13:22:42

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

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.

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

Tranquility Tue 17-May-16 17:37:59

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!!!

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.

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?

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!

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......

loopylou Wed 18-May-16 15:45:26

without not 'with'!

Computing, reading, writing and craft work.

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?

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.

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

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

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!

italiangirl Sat 21-May-16 08:59:10

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

BRAVEBETH Sat 21-May-16 09:30:47

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

gwen Sat 21-May-16 19:07:02

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