You are saying that distance glasses impair your near vision? Mine (I still hav some) don't impair mine. They have no effect. So you are saying you can read fine with no glasses, but when you put your distance glasses on you can't any more but could in the past? Weird. Why not simply take your glasses off when you need to read? If your problem were commonplace everyone with a vision issue would need varifocals.
Let's fac it.....its you, mate.
That’s exactly what I’m saying and I do have to take them off to read. As I said was never like this for 20+ years and only started a couple of years ago. My opticians tell me it’s not unusual but I’m yet to meet anyone else with the same problem.
He is not on his ownmy eyesight was fine to read and distance for most of my life but in the last 2 years not. Now my eyes are so bad that I have to take them off as you say and put my face really close or use a second pair of reading glasses. Varifocals would be great for me but I am one that could never get on with them, I felt like Mr Magoo.
Not on his own at all - exactly what I have to do. I can't read a book or use a computer with the glasses I have to wear for driving or watching telly. Indeed, I can't read the time clearly on the car radio when I'm driving without lifting my head to look underneath my glasses (or removing them). I thought this was normal. I'm going to have to research this now!
