We had a message from an electrician, using his glasses at work for wiring – and he couldn’t see if he was working on wiring positioned above his head. We made upside down bifocals, putting the reading area at the top of the lens, and a weaker area below so he could see when he stepped onto his ladder – problem solved!

We then heard from a Doctor who felt he intimidated his patients when he looked at them over the top of his reading half frames, which he used to input records in the computer. We made bifocals with a clear top portion, and a weak prescription in the bottom, just enough to use at the computer. No more nervous patients!

A chap with an arthritic neck was having difficulty seeing the edges of his workbench in his varifocals  – these 3-in-1 lenses are great for general purpose wear but some people struggle when they look to the sides. We made extra wide segment bifocals that allowed him to look around without straining his neck too much.

There’s always a solution to every problem if you look hard enough – and with bifocals you can look twice as hard!!
