Anyone wear Vari-focal specs?

I had a pair of 'computer glasses' that covered about 2' to 16' when I got them. One day I sdove a few miles in them, when I realised I changed to my prescription sunglasses!

By a couple of years ago they were ideal reading and computer glasses, much better than my proper reading glasses, but I left them in the Stourbridge Glass museumm of all places.

With all glasses, the better the illumination the greater the depth of field.

It's my hearing that is getting me most worked up. It seems as sensitive as it ever was, but I find it hard to pick out conversation when there is background noise.

I don't think your hearing problem is that unusual so I had a little search see HERE - I don't think it is NECESSARY to attend a drinks party however! I might add that the facility of selective deafness is, at times, practiced by my wife. (Oh yes and the dog - especially when in pursuit of a cat, rabbit etc.etc) My wife assures me that I too suffer from such a selective hearing defect - but I don't believe it.

What a 'blind' old set of bods we must be - does engineering send us prematurely sight impaired !!

I'm sure it does; all that close up work etc, asking ourselves ..'is that a 3 or an 8'..or similar vein.

Norman,

After 3 eye tests in 4 weeks, surely my perscription can't change that much ? I have basically given up and trying to get a refund.

I think it's ironic being advised to keep on when if it was a Chinese lathe it wouldn't be fit for purpose

If you are saying that they have done three tests and made three sets of lenses and they are STILL wrong then I agree - I too would be making a stink. I would though be wanting answers as to WHY they had got it wrong that many times . Yes you have every right to demand a refund but I would also want an explanation and apology from the head honcho!

On the other hand what's to guarantee that another optician will not get it wrong too? Maybe insist they get it right this time and look elsewhere in the future?
