Are you always wearing the wrong prescription glasses for whatever you’re doing? Do you constantly put your glasses down and forget where they are?! If you wear separate glasses for far and close vision, then this may be you and you can have a specs solution that makes life easier.
Bifocal glasses are not new technology, but they still do an excellent job if you want a cheap and simple pair of spex that gives you vision at two distances. The top of the lens usually has a distance prescription, for driving and watching television. The lower area of the lens has a visible segment that allows you to see close too.
Bifocal glasses are perfect if you want to read but then glance up at the TV, and if you find Varifocal glasses make you feel dizzy or disorientated then bifocals can be easier to use. The segment area is available in different sizes and shapes, so you should find one that suits you. They are also useful if you successfully wear Varifocals but would like a cheap extra pair, for jobs around the house or to keep in the car.
Separate pairs of distance and reading glasses can wear out quickly as you’re constantly taking them on and off. It’s also annoying to have to keep track of which pair you need at any particular time. We can’t help you to remember why you went upstairs, but with bifocals at least you’ll be able to see when you get there!
