I got varifocals last time at a vast expense ...£450.
Hopeless, went back to my old standard distance glasses within weeks. What a waste of money. I still wear my old glasses having demoted the new ones to a drawer.
I don't like the eye test, just to read letters on the wall seems inadequate to me.
I would love them to, at least, have a window you could look out of with normal life going on outside and be asked to read a couple of number plates, some adverts on buses, etc, etc.
Another reason was that I opted for reactolites in the hope that things had moved on in technology. No chance, still walk into the garage out of the sun and wait an age for them to clear. Same with driving or biking into a tunnel.
I use cheapo readers for close work and my prescription sunglasses for driving. If it's very bright I put night driving clip-ons over them.
Having had over 25.000 laser shots for retinopathy, I find that my eyesight changes from time to time. At the moment I can read the paper without anything. Now, if I could just get an appointment to get my cataracts ripped out, I'd be a lot happier.
Think I'll phone the Eye Hospital tomorrow.
