Should I get varifocals?

    Hi all,

    47 year old here who is long sighted with glasses (prescription is circa 2.0) for reading and computer work.

    As I am office based I wear my reading glasses 6-8 hours a day and have been doing so for over 5 years. Increasingly I also need to grab my reading glasses to read menus, packaging, documents, newspapers etc and it's a pain having to rummage round for them. I've ended up with about 6 off the shelf pairs scattered around the house and car + a couple of compact fold able pairs for carrying in my trouser pocket when I am neither at home nor in my office which is where my two prescription pairs of glasses permanently reside.

    I'm thinking it might be a good idea to just bite the bullet and get varifocal glasses which I just wear all day. I don't mind wearing glasses at all so it would save me the hassle of carrying and/or looking for glasses all the time and now that the best football manager in the whole world who is just a year older than me wears glasses all the time I'm thinking if it's ok for him it should be ok for me too.

    If my prescription is only for reading are varifocal glasses appropriate?
