Cheers mate. Yeah I have sensitive eyes. I can't do contacts, I wish I could. I love swimming but I can't open my eyes underwater, they are too sensitive. I can't do drops or anything that comes in contact. I have to use that special spray that doesn't actually touch my eyes, bad I know.
To people like me that have to wear them whenever not in bed, although my girlfriend will tell me I can't find a certain spot, we won't go there, how do you feel about wearing these damned things? I have for some ten years and I still bloody hate it. I cannot get used to them, like ever.
Your prescriptionist will know the right way to go. Vari's really take time to get used to, after 6 years they still do bad things to me. Just wearing glasses in the first place takes time and I never got used to them, they still piss me off. Best of luck fella!
Just read the thread and very interesting to see how people didn't take to them, and the tripping over stuff, I have a real problem, even after some 6 years walking down stairs with them. I have become extremely clumsy wearing vari's and it really annoys me.
Varifocals are for long and short sighted. I wear them. When you go to Specsavers or wherever they will tell you what you need, but if you're just short sighted you just need short sighted goggles. Vari means variable, like me, screwed in both departments!!
I can't disagree with you. And as for our friends up the M/A23... they give fans something to salivate over but actually never see it through, so they end up with the same rusty tin shed.
