A few weeks ago I got new specs. The optician said that I now have a cataract forming in my left eye as well. But with the new prescription I don't have as many blurry evenings as previously. Mostly when I've done a lot of reading or stitching.
I wear varifocals all the time, but since I still needed a magnifier for close work, I asked if it was possible to get some single vision glasses for stitching only that would be stronger than the varifocals. The optician said I could have them in my prescription and they are brilliant. Sometimes I need to check my stitching with a magnifier but not often. Of course I can't see anything more than 18 inches away when I'm wearing them..........though I do look 'over' them but that is like wearing no glasses at all. I am NOT complaining, by the way. I'm delighted to have these new helpers.
They are approx 7x magnification. Too strong for most people to see through. Chel put them on and tried to put another pair on me. She missed my face by inches and we had a good giggle.
