I use them at work, great for reading/monitor/distance without having to change. Don't like them for walking outdoors as you have to tilt your head down to see the pavement, otherwise you are looking through the reading part. But I had to order a plain distance pair for driving as I found that if I just moved my eyes to look in the car door mirrors or mirrors on the motorbike I was again looking through the reading/monitor part of the lens and vision was blurred. |

Mine took me about 2 weeks to get used to but I think they are great. |

One of my colleagues is having a running battle with SpecSavers at the moment as he picked up some varifocals a week or so ago and they're no good. They refuse to accespt this, and he's going in to demand a refund tomorrow. Aparrenty the top of the lens is supposed to be plain glass, but in fact they are actually 'minifying' (ie the opposite of magnifying - they make things look smaller). Other issues with them too... |

I love mine. This is my third pair - I've never had any problems with them. Gwynne |

Very boring I know but I've just picked up my new glasses. Never had varifocals before and I hate them. Everything is distorted and I get that woosy feeling you get when you look at the microfiche for too long. I've got them on a month's trial (just as well as they cost ££££££s) but I just know I'll be returning them. Anyone else had these problems? Daisy UPDATE pg 2 |
