Progressive Multifocus Computer Reading Glasses Blue Light Blocking Titanium Alloy Bendable Multifocal Readers Multi Focus No Line Eyeglasses Eyewear Anti Glare Eye Strain Ultralight for Men and Women

Having paid hundreds of pounds for varifocals at a well known High St optician with the misleading name and not had an entirely good experience with online prescription sellers I was surprised to find while visiting America last year that it is was possible to buy off the peg Varifocals. (which are called multifocals) I bought a few pairs of Foster Grants which although they worked weren't quite the right size for my largish head. As usual I sat on them or lost them and started looking for the same things in the UK - without success apart from here on Amazon. Anyway decided to have a punt on these on have been absolutely delighted with the quality of the plastic lens and general construction which, although not absolutely of the standard of designer frames they are large, (across and length of arm), lightweight, slightly flexible, (arms don't bend backwards but are long and straightish) and seem sturdily built for semi-rimless glasses . I can see better than my last pair of High St varifocals and the lens does not require constant cleaning. My eyes have roughly deteriorated with age at approximately the same rate - first short distance then gradually mid distance (computer and TV). I have also noted a slight improvement over no glasses at driving distances. I have noticed no banding between the segments of the lens and because they are wide and large are great for watching the TV or computer workon a large screen. Also great for shopping and photography. The specs came promptly with a substantial case.In summary these are an absolute steal for people with larger heads who want to see books and TV with better clarity and have an equal amount of short sightedness in each eye. Doubtless many opticians will be upset about the availability of these and issue all sorts of warnings , but for me the proof is in the seeing and they work for me. Obviously is not the answer for many people but at the price its worth a try (I cant speak for returns policy.) I've ordered another three pairs. NB the maker offers a smaller pair of varifocals on a different amazon page.

I bought these glasses following cataract surgery which left all my old prescription glasses no longer useful. I was very impressed on their arrival and they made it possible for me to carry on driving/reading etc. They were well designed, light and comfortable to wear. However after a few weeks I noticed the lenses taking on a yellow tint which has become progressively darker and reducing their effectiveness. Fortunately my revised prescription will arrive within a week or I would be tempted to buy another pair.

They make everything blurry, put them kept seeing was double letters in the words. Not happy with them at all . Kept them on for a hour to see if my eyes would adjust, but made no difference at all. Sorry but can only give one star and that's for comfortable fit and style.

Value for Mone

I have to look closely at small components, then at a screen and then across the room. The seamless variation with plain glass at the top works wonderfully for me.Not the robust construction of a designer frame but a fraction of the cost.I bought a second pair, one for work and the other for home, to avoid unnecessary handling.Lightweight. Clear & comfortable.

For reading, the glasses are great. The transition from near to distance is very good. But although I found them to be excellent for reading, They were not so good for distance. I can't use them when driving. I can use them to see the satnav, but have to change specs to see where I'm going clearly.

I am unable to use it, because I can't see clear, when I put it on. It is too blunt for me.

I had a retinal operation which meant my eye prescription was all over the place for a while. I got these with a view to being able to move my head about until things came into focus. They worked perfectly for me for the few weeks I needed them. Are they any good for long-term use.... not really. Only the centre section works. If you look to the side it will be out of focus. So OK for a bit of readign or watching TV but not really any good for driving or walking about. That said though they are a fraction of the price of teh higher firld of vision varifocals so worth getting a pair just to keep in your bag.
