My optician admitted that varifocals don't really work very well if wanting close up for fine work. Better to have two seperate pairs of specs. I had cataract ops over last two years and can see reasoably ok without specs but now have distance pair for driving and 'reading' pair for close up, crafting etc. Am going into hospital on Sat for op to lift my eyelids so hope will be able to see even clearer after this! Eyelids, incidentally, have droop caused by age and years of wearing contact lenses.
