Oh and the pair I bought and don't wear are Tag Heuer

Maybe if you did wear them you would have only cut down 8 trees instead of 12 when you built your garage

Feck, is that where I went wrong

Just get some jam jar bottoms onto no6 Range Rover

Everyone needs a hobby

What's your prescription Mick?

I got a pair of Oakley frameless single lens ie no Varifocal with Transition V5 tints for £400 with a "free" pair of readers that I've never used! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

F k knows Al , Opticians , eyes tested , frame picked , Varifocal , Platinum Vision , Ultra thin Lenses , can't remember if i got Transitions this time , price told , price paid , Cheerio ...

And the irony?

Had a RR dealership asked for the same amount, it would have warranted a full stewards enquiry and technical breakdown! Researching my first Range Rover purchase

£4.50 off the shelf in Tesco.

My daughter is an optometrist with specsavers and told me to go to Tesco.

Got mine from ASDA! single lens designer for £69 with free eye test bi/varifocals £99 Just have to remember to wear the things now I got em. Gettin old  Mine was a blue one!

Shouldn't have posted yesterday.

Went for a company eye test, as I retire at the end of the month, only to be told I am just legal for driving, I need stronger reading glasses and my mid field vision is also poor.

Looks like it will have to be a pair of varifocals.

So that you off to Tesco then

IanV8 - I have tried varifocals and personally found them tiring when driving because the field of vision is V shaped (resonable width at the top for distance vision, but very narrow at the bottom for looking at your dashbaord/ sat nav). So after lots of arguing at Specsavers I went for bifocals (distance and mid - the reading distance for me is too close to be of use in the car) with the smallest/narrowest possible bi-focal element at the bottom of the glasses - the result is fantastic for driving with wide distance focus achieved by just moving your eyes not your head and the same for dashboard/ sat nav screen (compared to varifocals that I had previously). Hope this helps.
