So brought them back :(<br /><br />Unless you opt for really big glasses, they seem to have a problem with thinner frames..<br /><br />Hope you find a solution!..https://www.blogger.com/profile/12365270129957392428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100206628369181346.post-49287606825035681242012-06-30T02:03:01.222-07:002012-06-30T02:03:01.222-07:00Thank you all so much for your wonderful and helpf...Thank you all so much for your wonderful and helpful comments. I persevered for a week, but they have had to go back! The focal point was way too low on them and I kept getting horrid neck ache and headaches. They now tell me that varifocals are probably not suitable for what I need!! Wish they had told me that when they recommended them. So they are upping the strength of the glasses so that the middle bit I look through is stronger and that will hopefully work, but if not then I can go back again and again until they are right. sigh!! Looks like this could be a long road.... :)Pipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578340839618548501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100206628369181346.post-82011209305157461872012-06-24T01:35:01.552-07:002012-06-24T01:35:01.552-07:00It gets easier.

Hope you get used to them soon. I ought to go get mine checked too but am waiting to be not tired one day to see if it's just tiredness making it hard to focus sometimes.

I think finally at age 50 I have received the Rx which suits me best. Do wear them as much as you can as this will facillitate the adjustment. HOWEVER, I also agree that many times it is necessary to return to one's practitioner for reassessment; sometimes a second opinion is warranted. I have worn corrective lens since age 8 and I have come to believe a series of measurements is in my best interests, rather than a single assessment. I have on more than one occasion been prescribed unsuitable lens. Forgive the long comment, but our eyesight is so precious and irreplacable that it should be one of our highest healthcare priorities. Hopefully, the aging of Western populations will result in increases in the quality of this speciality. Good luck with your new glasses, dear Pippa!Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100206628369181346.post-42707486183738143922012-06-22T15:54:03.740-07:002012-06-22T15:54:03.740-07:00It is a very stylish model glasses and looks very ...It is a very stylish model glasses and looks very good on you.

I got my first pair at 11. Was right on schedule with bifocals at 40. I hope you have the kind with no lines - it really helps!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219009870087789422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100206628369181346.post-32802515333498517762012-06-22T06:32:13.088-07:002012-06-22T06:32:13.088-07:00It doesn't necessarily get easily.

This time after the third type of lens I am getting on better but they are far from perfect and absolutely no good for the computer. Don't be afraid to go back if you don't like them. They really don't work for everyone.Fionahttp://www.tizduster.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
