You pay for what you get with varifocal lenses. The cheap ones have a very limited field of vision. My myopic prescription (-8.50) requires such a high refractive lens that I need the very super expensive Kryptonite Zircon encrusted spectacle lenses. I wear monthly disposable contact lenses that have long distance corrected in my dominant eye and a weaker one corrected for reading in my other. Problem solved.Originally posted by petergriffin View PostMy trusted optuagenarian optician warned against varifocal because of bad peripheral visions.
The optician at high street stores are sales puppets and therefore I don't tend to trust them that much.
I guess at one point I'd have to go through the varifocal route.

You speccy twat.Originally posted by petergriffin View PostDoes anybody take any supplements to delay vision problems or am I the only deluded?
I've been taking good quality Bilberry extract for 2 years but it's not going any better.
In particular my near vision is fekced. I need to travel with 3 pair of glasses (near, distant and computer). Imagine the face of younger colleagues/manager/clients.

I've been wearing single focal glasses for 20 years and have only just started having issues with close distances (<0.5m) so computer work is still fine. I've been recommended varifocals next.
