    I bought  pair from glasses direct...only £38 they are ok...didn't have much choice as I'm stuck in with a broken ankle
    Well done. My experiences with online glasses retailers, including Glasses Direct and the Chinese AliExpress, have been excellent. I haven't tried this with varifocals.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    I would only consider simple single vision lenses from an on-line optician.  Positioning of the graduation between areas of the lens is critical for varifocals.
