AlphaDog, thanks for the information. I got my first pair of variable focus lenses a year and a half ago. I didn't realize there were different types available. My first pair did seem to have a VERY limited field of focused vision and, as such, was virtually useless. Strangely enough, the Rx vari-focus sunglasses I got at the same time work much better. I have a vision benefit with my health plan so, I was able to get new glasses about six months ago. I mentioned the problems I was having with the original vari-focus pair. The optomitrist (same one from a year earlier) listened and, the new ones work much better. Fortunately, my Rx is virtually the same for the last six years so, for most day to day reading, I find myself still using my "old" reading glasses. The primary use for my vari-focus glasses is when I'm flying. Having to scan outside, scan flight instruments and, referrence charts is much easier if I don't have to take glasses off and on. Can you provide some links to the information you found? TIA!
