I hate my varifocals

[SeasonsBleatings]

Got them a week ago after wearing glasses for computer work/reading for the last few years. My optician said one eye is struggling slightly with distances and varifocals will help when I'm out and about or watching TV etc. I hate them. I can't really see a difference in my distance vision when I'm out and about and they are an utter pain to read in as even though I paid for a decent size 'reading' window in them it's hard to position my reading in that window and they are useless for computer work.

Should I persevere? I am so tempted to just take them back and get a refund under the Specsaver guarantee.

Take them back and get them checked, both my DH and I have had varifocals from Specsavers and didn't get on with them. I never took mine back but eventually got new ones from Asda - much cheaper and absolutely great. My DH had his recalibrated and they are much better.

I'm taking them in today. I'm not actually convinced I need them, I'm fine with just my readers. I'm not sure how to read prescriptions but my 'Sph' reading is +0.5 for one eye and -0.5 for the other which doesn't seem strong enough to need distance glasses.

I gave in and got varifocals when I realised I couldn’t see the food on my plate.
At the risk of spamming I really can’t recommend these enough. They’re cheap and good, I’ve 6+ Pairs over the years including sunglasses.

I was on the way back to return them when I realised that when I cover one eye I can't read large text in the distance...I saw another member of staff who showed me how to use them properly so I'm giving them another go!
