I was a long term wearer of daily disposable lenses. In ended up with what the optician referred to an monovision lenses. One lens optimised for distance , the other for close up stuff. These worked well for most general things , but I never found them 100% satisfactory , noticeably when I visited museums & galleries , I found it hard to get a clear , close view of the exhibits.
A couple of years ago I stopped using contacts, party due to the fact that they were becoming less comfortable for extended wear, partly because I was concerned about the amount of plastic waste they generate. I've been relying on varifocal glasses ever since.
Comes COVID-19 and glasses are now a pain. The disposable masks make my glasses fog up so I can't see, more expensive ones with a tighter seal at the nose are better, but tend to interfere with the nosepiece of my specs!
So I'm thinking about getting some more contacts , not for daily wear , just for occasional days out.
I've never tried the varifocal / multifocal lenses that are available and would be interested in peoples experience with them. In particular, how good are they at close distance stuff ? (I'm one of those annoying people in galleries who likes to get about 30cm from the pictures to look at the detail....)
