    I got rid of mine after a week. Asda Opticians replaced the 2 pairs with 2 pairs of reading glasses.

    Sorry about the glasses.  I didn't get on with my varifocals either.
    Thanks. One pair I can see the advantages but honestly I've doubts about the actual prescription. What did you go in the end jwil? Two sets of glasses or just lift off to see?
    It does sound like yours are wrong.  My glasses are for distance, and I don't need them for reading, so I prefer to just lift them when I want to read something.

    I've an apt to see the optician again on Saturday. I was asked for email feedback and I had a bit of a rant. They've just rung me to offer an apt. I'll see what they say
