Who wears varifocals?

seven-day-weekend

I went from not needing glasses at all to wearing varifocals in my 40s (I'm now 61).

Love them, never had a moment's problem with them, to me this is what glasses are like.

I would echo what anther poster has said about paying for the best you can afford and also having a large enough lens.

Yes but your daughter would have got a frame discount and at least £62.70 off lenses.

That's really interesting, I've never come across a child in varifocals before.

it cost her £150 after discount. the £200 i referred to earlier was for my glasses not hers

Mine are reactor , but I remember them as Umbermatics ?? which I started to wear in the sixties.

Was told off by a teacher for wearing sun glasses in class , she had never seen a pair.

Four years ago the price was over £600 , I was very pleased to pay less. I also don't get the buy one get another free or half price offers.

But I have shopped around and for what I want , Spec Savers are still the best , some other well known places are more expensive and the small independents just don't want to know.

we go to a local independent who is fantastic with my dd she has asd and struggles with eye control during a test so they dust off the old hand held equipment for her.
