Hi does anyone know what the minimum requirement for varifocals is? I got some yesterday but the optician didn’t give me the prescription and I can’t read a screen with these or drive with them because there’s no peripheral vision. I have my old glasses for driving but I desperately need some for reading ASAP as the headaches are ridiculous.

The only thing know is I just reached the benchmark for varifocals on the reading side so if I can buy some cheap glasses for working on the screen ASAP that should solve my immediate problem.

I asked for the prescription but was told I’d have to wait because an optician needs to sign it so would take ages. I’ve since called and asked for it to be emailed and this will take 3 days.

I spoke to Boots this morning and they told me to take them in and they will exchange them for two separate pairs for me 🙂

Ah good news! Sounds like the way forward. 🙂

It might be your cyl and axis prescription or PD make 'off the shelf' readers unsuitable.
