I think it depends on your prescription. I have them, they're go for driving as the dashboard sits nicely within the near prescription and the road in the far prescription.
However, I still have to take them off to use the computer as the screen distance is typically somewhere between the two. |

Got variable focal ones, now I'm used to them can't go back, I can't be bothered swapping between two sets all the time, and even screens for work are fine with it.
When I put my sunglasses on in the car that are vary, it's most wierd that the dash is all murkey  |

"They are good but you have to persivere with them, for the first few days they can make your head spin but your brain compensates after a while. "
That has been my experience too, they can mess with your balance and co-ordination at first. You realise the trick is to move your head, not just eyeballs. After a week, you should be fine. Its worth paying for good lenses. |

"I have driving glasses and they are also good for tv, but does anyone wear varifocals? Are they good for short and long focus? Sick of swapping mine about.

Good quality lenses is the key, mine work well at any distance, and are quite thin. They do take a while to get used to, but i wouldnever go back to ordinary glasses |

I have varifocals which are great for driving and general use, I wouldn't go back to two pairs now. When I worked I a pair of professional varifocals which had a prescription designed for use with a computer.
The key to varifocals is persistence it took me ages to get used to them. However I know they just don't suit some people |

Iv worn them for over 12 years now and life is much easier than if i had 2 different glasses. I have a huge difference between the prescriptions but cope well and got used to them within a day.there are times when things are blurred but i just have to move my head. |

I wear varifocals, both for general use, and a safety pair for work. Never worn glasses before, and only had these about a year.
First time I ever tried my prescription on at the opticians I had to take them off, as I was all dizzy.
Optician said not to wear them straight away, but take them home, and put them on as soon as I woke up next day.
Everything was fine then, and now I hardly notice I'm wearing them. |

You can get varifocals to do middle distance too, which allow you to focus on computer screens. I have them and it took about 2 weeks to fully get used to them.  |

Forgot to mention, you can have the boundary ‘line’ between the different prescriptions moved slightly, if you experienced any ‘conflict’ between them. The optician had set my far and middle distance right in between my pupils, which made the walking and watching tv blurry at times. Also, if you can afford it, pay for the widest ‘width’ to get the optimum range of sight. |
