New Varifocals..
13 Answers
So, I now have my new glasses. Problems: I can't see the ground when I walk/ when I look to my left everything is blurred. I have to keep my head in one position when on the PC. Distances still seem blurred whereas before they were fine. I am short-sighted and only got them cos I had to take my glasses off to read small print on my phone etc. Anyone had this, and does it improve?!

When I went to get mine I felt the same as you, then the optician took them and did a little adjustment and bingo they were spot on. Try shifting them about on your nose and see where they sit the best, but you may have to go back and get them twiddled a bit.
The first time I got varifocals I could not get on with them at all. Everything was blurred.
I went back to the optician and they retested my eyes to find that , in their word 'there has been a change in your vision'...in mine 'the first optician made a mistake with your prescription'. (It was only a week later.)
It put me off varifocals for a long time, but I have tried again and get on fine with them now and did as soon as I put them on.
So, my advice is to go back to the optician and see if they will test you again.

Been wearing varifocals for some time now with no problems, need them to drive and reading. Initially they felt a bit strange for a few days, particularly going downstairs.
For looking at my pc monitor I had a separate pair of single vision lenses made up, which suits me better.
I'd give it a couple of days and if your no better, then go back to the optician and explain your concerns.

I've had varifocals for about 5 years now and they are marvellous but I found that I can't just glance down when on steps/stairs - I actually have to incline my head so that I am looking down at my feet through the top part of the glasses (the distance part in my case) other wise everything is blurry because I'm looking through the close/reading section and I risk losing my footing. Likewise I've found that I can't just glance left or right when driving - I have to actually completely turn my head so that I am directly looking at whatever it is. I'd never go back to two pairs of specs though.
I found taking homeopathic Ruta grav 6c helped with the eye muscle strain.
