That is indeed the "trick" to it. When I told the optician that I was not keen on becoming a "nodding dog" he assured me that that was all "old hat" and the newer lenses were far more subtle. I think he fibbed. ;)

No, he is correct. When they were first introduced to the market, you really were a 'nodding dog' but as they have improved, the head movement is far less pronounced. The more expensive the lens (and they are improving year on year) the better the way the focal 'channels' are put to use. I have a severe short-sight defect ( measles at a very young age ) so have made use of this technology and its improvements over the years. I pay big bucks as I do not like a heavy lens, give me a headache, so I choose to pay for the lighter, thinner ones.
Stick wif 'em, you'll win! :)

I've been varifocals for about 50 years. They are an 'acquired art' but once you get used to them you will never look back (!). The technique is that in order to make use of all the different focal 'channels' you have to move your head as opposed to just using the movement of the eyes.
Good luck.

Is it true you can see the detailed surface of the moon with varifocals?

I have an underdeveloped and amblyopic left eye (no 3D perception) and so the right eye has been doing 70% of the work all my life. Unfortunately, the right now has an epiretinal tear and now it has a "blur" smack in the middle of the right eye's vision.
So right now I am struggling to get a basically knackered left eye to pick up some slack. :( I have to stick with it, no choice really. Or, back to separate glasses for reading & PC and another pair for driving (which is a real pain).
I can sit and read a book OK, drive a car OK with these Varifocals but the PC screens are a blur wherever I look though the lenses unless it is a tiny little "letterbox" of clarity? I shall persevere.

If you wear a pirate eye patch on the eye with the tear will that help the other one to buck up ?

OOOOooo nice brown sugar....

So you is worried about your hour-glass figure!;)
We make ours with semi-skimmed goats milk so can afford a bit of sweetening. Microwave special. Wifey's is purer than mine as she has to have gluten free and it tastes better than mine.:(
But it is good for you and cuts cholesterol allegedly!
It is the only thing I put any sweetener on, stopped sugar in tea and coffee when a kid and noticed my dad never put it in. That was due to rationing!
(In his time, not mine!)
Honey is natural, allegedly although you do have to examine the label with a microscope!

Unless you pay absolutely sh!t loads of money, you will find there is a central strip that does what it is supposed to but the bits either side don't!
 
Good evening from Shrewsbury.
Was wet in Cardiff. Nice drive up through the countryside. Loads of flood water across the fields.
Hate mud... means more cleaning once dry

Local honey is best, not that supermarket rubbish ...
