Question: What are people's thoughts and even experiences with Adjustable Glasses?
I had a rather stupid large pair when I was in middle school. Never bothered wearing them to school though, for almost obvious reasons.
But now they've managed to more or less streamline them. How useful are they though? Is it worth picking up as a last ditch emergency set of glasses?
I'm wondering about this, too, as I've gone from no glasses to distance lenses to, now, three different pairs for different situations and none of them are ever exactly what I need. They're all over the house and never where I need them and just make me angry, worst part of aging (so far). I'm squinting at this right now
You might want to consider progressives. It took me two tries, and finally giving them a proper chance for four weeks to get used to them, but now it's like I don't have presbyopia. They're not cheap and they're not easy to get used to, but at least for me, they were well worth the effort.
Yes, I have one pair and those are still my go to when I leave the house, but problem for me is the middle distance (computer screen), which was giving me neck pains from unconsciously tilting my head to put it in the right spot. And reading in bed, where having the readers at the bottom portion just doesn't work. So, ended up juggling glasses anyway.
Those are a thing? I want that!
I've never tried them. In fact, I didn't even know there were adjustable glasses that work with sliding lenses: the only type I knew of is flexlible liquid-filled lenses. I've been looking for an explanation of how the sliding lenses principle works for the past 20 minutes but I can't find anything. Annoying!
I don't think they will do you much good if you have a lot of cylinder in your correction. But if you have none, they should work. Also, they look like the field of vision is very narrow. And of course, the elephant in the room: the dork factor is off the scale 🙂
Maybe as emergency glasses
EDIT: here's a less dorky alternative - appears to work using the same sliding lens system:
