My head hurts.

The phone rang this morning and I was summoned to my optician's to collect my new and rather smart specs, which have a slight varifocal aspect. Ow.
I am getting the hang of reading through the bottom of them but the twist is I don't have to take them off for longer focus; as Mr D (no, not Mr DD, this is Mr D) explained I could wear them whilst I was cooking so no longer would I be putting them on to read a recipe then taking them off to do stuff.
I have probably overdone them this afternoon thro' excitement and I am now wearing one of my oldest pairs (Mr D says this is fine) because my head is somewhat 'swimmy' and painful. I will wear them tonight whilst we're eating and see if Mr DD spots them. My money is on no . . . . . DD

Good luck with them, DD - my mam took a long time to get used to them years ago. I don`t think my OH would spot it if I wore different specs at the dinner table - or anywhere else, come to that.0

You persevere DD my OH gave up on his...so he keeps misplacing one pair and it drives us both mad..good luck ..0

I've had varifocals for a number of years I thought I would never get used to them but one day I realised I wasn't struggling anymore. Mig0

Oh Frog, that's a classic Cosgan, thank you! It was just like that but now things are getting better with them, I haven't been wearing them quite as much and, just like yours Joan, mine don't have a line either; I think the varifocal technology has improved over the years and they can now be 'line-less'.

I'm glad you liked him! When I read this thread I pictured him in my head and just had to find him
I hope that every day (if you don't overdo it) you adjust more. Then like Joan and everyone else you will love them
Did Mr DD spot 'em?
love
