Hiya artha :hello: I have no experience with Tesco opticians but as having worked at Boots opticians, what I will say, especially if this is your first pair of varifocals is make sure they take a lot of measurements! With varifocals it is so very important that the placement of the lens is measured especially for you otherwise you're going to be tilting your head in all kids of positions trying to get it right and this will undoubtedly have a huge bearing on whether you can tolerate them let alone adapt to them. Please don't let me put you off, varifocals are amazing but they do take adaptation Secondly don't go for a narrow frame, especially in your first set, you want a larger lens so you've got a greater reading area and your eyes aren't working overdrive transitioning between far sight and near sight.

Hi Fudge_Cake,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I had read that varifocals can take some getting used to(despite what the optician who is selling them might say).
The top of the range Tesco varifocals(of a range of 4types) are described as "made to measure". The price tag reflects this and I'm hoping that these may include the measurements that you mention. I guessed that a narrow frame would not be suitable so am looking at things that can accommodate the lens properly. It;s a big price step to take as I've only ever needed reading glasses up to now. (My recent ill health and medication seems to have affected my vision)

Being able to use doubled up clubcard vouchers will allow me to afford the best lenses and hopefully make the transition easier:)
Thanks again

I think they said there was something that she had bought in this shop that had not shown up on the receipt. Could be wrong.

Mine is a shade of grey.

A5 from Ts last year for pennies and the plastic wallets were 10p too.

I wonder how many men on the thread have their own "coupon folder" of is it just the Elite women.

I have 1 for Tosco(purple), 1 for Sada(Green), 1 General(Yellow), and 1 for waiting PP and APG's (Red).

I have a usb with my vouchers on which I carry with me:D, sadly no portable printer though.

So buying the vinnie trellis tin biscuits plus any other two in the '3 for £10' offer should work?.. even if they don't show at other stores on MSM?

Who is it supposed to compare against?
