They do look intriguing. I use and like varifocals but there are times (and
in differing circumstances) where they're not ideal and a single prescription pair would be better. These might fit that bill. |

Not an approach I'd considered, I must admit. The appeal of the ones in the
link of course is that they seem to be continuously variable: I can see that being useful. |

These adjustable ones are handy to replace ready readers I suppose. |

Always blame the varifocals if you fall down some pub steps when ****ed up. The one thing that I have never really got used to with my varifocals are the cut and cornered paving slabs in shopping precincts that rise and fall in height for disabled access to buildings. -- Adam |

I think these don't have fluid - in fact I was looking for variable glasses some time ago, and nobody makes that type. These glasses have two sliding lenses giving different strengths depending on sideways separation. However it can't really be done because the horizontal power will not be the same as the vertical power, resulting in astigmatism, but seemingly not noticeable judging by the glowing reviews. -- Dave W |

The final picture on the website shows how they work. Quite clever, but I'd have thought there's a lot of distortion. |

I have been using the cheap chinese ones for years now and have been guessing the prescription change for a while now. Works fine with one eye but not with the other. Simplest way to do my diy eye test. But I didnt notice the 6D limit, so maybe not. |
