Falling for Varifocals?

anno that is horrendous.

I tried varifocals on at the optician's and instantly felt sick so that was a no-no for me. Perhaps have a word with your optician?

Do you have any joint replacements because if you do, falling can slowly loosen the cement.

My opticians are always! trying to get me to have varifocals every time I go for new glasses. I don't know why it just seems they want you to try them.

I have worn glasses all my life every day I still stick to separate reading glasses which I have never needed that much.

But lately I am really needing them.

Will still stick to separate glasses for reading though.

Forehead!

I wear varifocals, too. I'm always very conscious of how kerbs, stairs, etc aren't always where they 'should' be and have had some near misses.
The thing is, I don't always watch where I'm going, which doesn't help.
Your poor forhead will be even more painful today, anno. Take it easy.

Wish you better anno

I really don't fancy varifocals, they are suggested every time I go for new glasses, but I think I'll stick with one pair for distance and one for reading.

anno I have never been able to manage varifocals it always seems as though the ground is coming up to meet me.
The first time I tried them I took a new pair away on holiday with me to try and get used to them but the problem I had trying to get up the stairs to the apartment had me completly disorinated and the steps seemed to be moving in front of me so I stopped wearing them.
I must say when I had that really bad fall nearly 4 yrs ago and broke my shoulder and upper arm I was wearing my normal specs it was just a case of not concentrating where I was going at the time.
I would think if you have worn them for 20yrs plus it is not the fact you are wearing varifocals and just bad luck at the time.xx
Hoping you are feeling better to-day xx

I fell badly years ago, and needed stitches in my eyebrow , I wasn't wearing Varifocals , I fell afew times since wearing them , but it wasn't the glasses it was my carelessness and loose slippers the last time , about 3 years ago
