I was really struggling with new varifocal glasses, turns out they were made incorrectly with a much too narrow ‘long distance’ area at the top so I await a new pair.
In regard to contacts, I had an eye injury nearly 20 years ago (I was a contact lens wearer at the time although that had nothing to do with the eye injury - I wasn’t even wearing them when I was injured) - I remember the consultant at Moorfields commenting ‘look around you at the doctors here - we all wear glasses, no-one had had laser surgery or wears contacts - that should tell you something’. I’ve never worn lenses since - although admittedly I don’t have to wear glasses all the time and no longer ride a motorbike - avoiding reflections while wearing a visor being one of the main reasons I wore contacts at that time.
