How difficult is it to adapt to varifocals?
The first time any spectacles are worn, some adjustment time is required. The reason behind this is because the new, clear vision needs to be accepted by your brain. Varifocals are slightly trickier than single focal spectacles since they change in power as they eyes look from the top to the bottom of the lenses. Your eyes need to learn which parts of the lens to use when looking close-up, far away or in-between. A few individuals may struggle with varifocals simply because they cannot tolerate the changes in power, which is inherent in the design of these. We advise that a period of 4 weeks be allowed before deciding that varifocals are not for you.
