I know this is well OT but I'm sure someone on here has experience of bifs/varifocals. My partner used to have glasses for distance and reading. After seeing her optometrist it was decided that a pair of varifocals would make life much easier. They were duly made up and fitted but she cant manage with them!.
It appears that the reading zone towards the bottom centre is just a small circular area. Being varifocals it is not clearly defined or visible to the casual viewer. This means that when reading she has to make excessive left to right head movements to scan each line of print. As she works in an office and lots of paper passes before her eyes,apart from vdu work,it causes big problems. Ideally,it seems to me that the reading zone needs to be wider so that at least she should be able to take in all or the best part of a line of text at A4 width.
Can anyone comment?/have experience?
She has made another appointment to try and get it sorted. Do optometrists operate a sale or return policy with the labs who make up specs for them? I would have thought so ?
