They didn't, and more specifically, I feel they really pushed them, whatever the question was their answer was varifocals.

At least you know which optician NOT to go to next time.

@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.

I packed myself in with pillows and surprisingly was extremely comfortable

Hopefully by the time my bike is de-wintered I’ll be used to them or I’ll just get some single prescription glasses

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.

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. 😬

I remove my glasses to read. They spend much of their time perched on top of my head.

 Exactly the opposite here, Glasses on to read, rest of the time perched on head.

Vari- focals are like looking out of a fishbowl.  I went for Bi-focals, or  Bi-vocals if you're called @Velarian 

 

Sorry V

That's what I do, except I usually spend 30 mins or so scouring the house looking for them when next needed.
