Try again with varifocals maybe you didn’t pick the right ones or stick to bifocals either that or you need two separate pairs

Yeah maybe , prefer the bifocal just the reading bit (half moon) does my head in. Hate the varfocal, send me out of mind.

How long did you give yourself to get used to the verifocals? It can take a while to settle down.
