I have worn glasses all the time for nearly 60 years. I was tested for varifocals, which I'd worn for 10 years, but when the glasses came the distance prescription was wrong. I went back many times and I think they did 3 tests before eventually they sorted out the distance vision. The reading vision has never been more than adequate. The glasses weren't adjusted properly for me and I had to go back twice to get that right. The optician told me that when they took a close look at the glasses they realised the lenses were distorted too. The glasses were expensive. I have a complex prescription and always choose inexpensive frames so I assumed the cost was in the lenses but another optician said that the lenses were bottom of the range. I also applied for a discount voucher and Boots (as opposed to this shop) were a bit slow in sorting that out.
