Wow.

There is some wobbly stairs effect but it is not that bad. Certainly
nothing to worry about.

Using the computer seems odd. Looking down at the keyboard and then
straight up at the screen I very clear picture with both. If the
monitor is closer than arms length then that does not work.

I am however not going to wear them for the rest of the day. I might
wear them to watch the match for a couple of hours tonight but I do
not intend to walk or drive in them.


When I first had varifocals I found it difficult to drive my car
through narrow gaps so I did not wear them for driving. I went on a a
holiday in the USA and there I had to wear them so that I could read
my GPS and see where the car was going. The roads there are generally
wider so I was not having to position the car very precisely.Â* However
I did get used to driving with varifocals and have used them ever since.

I had no problems with mine, other then the optician getting the
measurements wrong and me having to drive with my head angled lower than
I was comfortable with. Unfortunately they'd replaced a pair I'd lost
and so I had to put up with them on holiday, until they could be
replaced after my return.

I adapted to them immediately, although for very close/fine work I find
removing them best (more for comfort/head position).

I've worn glasses since my teens, with a brief spell of wearing (soft)
contact lenses. I've considered laser treatment- not out of vanity- even
after near on 50 years I still find glasses a faff, less so than contact
lenses, I could do without.
