I found that for distance work I could only see a circular shaped area clearly, but outside of that it was fuzzy. To look in my door mirrors I had to turn my head. Reading an A4 page I could only see the middle 50% clearly and had to move my head from side to side to read the outer 25% each side. I'd hoped that the transitional area would make varifocals better for computer work than bifocals but it didn't. I went back to bifocals for normal use and had a cheap pair of single vision glasses for computer work. Apparently it's mostly vain people who choose varifocals because they don't want others to see the split line of bifocals, because needing sight correction for both reading and distance generally indicates advancing years.
