Alan, I think I may have spoken to my optician about varifocals, but is was a long time ago if I did. Perhaps next time I'll see what he says.
 
Know all about floaters & jagged lines & iritis& hence the importance of getting urgent medical treatment. Trouble is that on one occasion, I pressed the panic button on a Good Friday only to be told by the emergency doctor that he couldn't see it! The following Friday I ended up with an emergency appointment with the consultant! 
 
Ian. Like it, but what would be the cost? And could people actually cope with it? Anyway, let's not get bogged down on that one.
 
Regards,

The earlier post  about mentioning points of light and dark lines is that it might help someone who reads this post. 

If you get a lathe then you can get the manufacturer's handbook and read lots of books about turning. However the issue of a pair of eyes is not associated with an owner's manual. You normally find out about bad things too late. Hence the comments which can be signs of serious retinal problems that can be contained if treated early.  It happened to someone close recently, we are glad we went to Moorfields in London.
 
Trivial detail... Benjamin Franklin is credited with having two lenses of different focal lenths cut in half then cemented to produce the first Bifocals.
 
The varifocals avoid Franklins join and don't tell everyone that you are wearing them! But as said it's what you can adapt to. Specsavers seem to have a very good policy on helping those who find the adaptation not so easy, after trying the others that's where we go now.
 Regards,
Alan.
