I recently had my annual eye test.
I explained to the "optician" that I again wanted varifocals as I needed to see charts/instruments on a light aircraft and also distance to avoid colliding with other aircraft--particularly those in the "purple corridors"
My current specs--varifocals- I believed to be fine.
She (carefull that""s sextist") said that she could improve the distance viewing on new varifocals.
I again emphasized varifocals and my interests.
Again told should be an improvement--on that basis decided to buy new specs.
Go to collect find that I can"t see my computer screen clearly or instrument panel on the aircraft--which were fine with specs that I have.
It seemed from another experience that the main aim of opticians now is to sell glasses regardless of whether they"re needed or not.
After I returned to the optician they said you need another pair for the shorter distance!!--so 2 pairs now to fly!!! --what a great idea..!!
After a heated discussion My charges were returned.
and i"m again using the same specs. that I went in with.
