At least you know which optician NOT to go to next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) @Bunion Sorry for the laughing emoji... Varifocals! Tried em for a bit... Not for me. Stairs were a nightnmare (as you found out).. taking a pizz also... keyboard on the desk used to be like being onboard ship... and driving or riding the motorcycle... err nope! Binned(!) em off! Hope you had a reasonable night. Edited November 11, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by the time my bike is de-wintered I’ll be used to them or I’ll just get some single prescription glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 2 hours ago, Woodinblack said: I had that, went to the optician as a non glasses wearer, they pushed the varifocals on me. Picked them up, went outside wearing them, the world looked horrible, I felt sick, walked into a bollard (luckily only slightly), never wore them again! I had a similar experience with varifocals and like you, never wore them again. Since then I’ve always had bi-vocals and get on with them just fine.

Franticsmurf Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hope you recovery is speedy. But don't rush things - you don't want to aggravate the injury. I wouldn't be without my varifocals now but it did take a couple of days to adjust. Great for staring at the audience and then at the fretboard without having to change glasses. 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I remove my glasses to read. They spend much of their time perched on top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the opposite here, Glasses on to read, rest of the time perched on head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Vari- focals are like looking out of a fishbowl. I went for Bi-focals, or Bi-vocals if you're called @Velarian Sorry V Edited November 11, 2022 by fleabag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do, except I usually spend 30 mins or so scouring the house looking for them when next needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
