They&#8217;ll take a bit of getting used to and as I said before, they are only supposed to be used for close up reading, so I may have to force myself to use them rather than just stretch my arm a bit to move the reading material away from my eyes! They do also magnify things on the screen when using my computer so they&#8217;ll probably be useful for that too, which is after all what I spend most of my time doing. However,\u00a0things still seem a little blurry to me even if it is larger and easier to read. Maybe it&#8217;ll just take a while to get used to them, or maybe there&#8217;s something else going on with my eyes. I&#8217;ll have to see how I get on with them and mention it to the opticians next time\u00a0I&#8217;m there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.specsavers.co.uk\/stores\/aberystwyth\">Specsavers in Aberystwyth<\/a>\u00a0have been good so far though, always ready to help when you go in and although I had an appointment booked for tomorrow to collect them and have them fitted, I\u00a0was in town today so popped in on the off chance that they were already there.
