Close up stuff with wonky eyesight...a remedy?

Fascinating stuff Don. New to me too. Thanks.

Phil,

Contrary to your last point, my understanding was that the 'hooks' on the lenses DO mean that the eye muscles ARE used - I can turn from my computer screen and look out of the window at houses across the gardens and focus on both just as I would before the replacement lenses were fitted.

As you are considering the change, I would say that I feel I spent my money wisely - new vari-focal glasses every 6 months were costing me a bomb anyway.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, more research, done a lot of that lately, there indeed are two multifocal lens types. The standard multifocal, which has three set focal points, no physical refocusing as such as it's all done by the brain, and synchrony accommodating, which indeed do refocus very similar to the natural eye. Awaiting the quote on the synchrony now. These are adjusted initially wit a free laser fine tuning if needed. (For free read built in the quoted cost whether you need it or not I suspect).

Will be having it done, just not sure yet which type of lens is best for me.

Phil
