McGoohan Sep 2019 12:39pm, 27 Sep 2019 41,347 posts	0 McGoohan I couldn't get on with those. My prescription is so bad it was like putting two rubberised bin lids in my eyes.
Surrey Phil Oct 2022 7:52pm, 11 Oct 2022 8,582 posts	0 Surrey Phil After breaking my old pair of varifocals, I have just recently got a new pair. I have now got to get used to switching between varifocals and PC glasses. Something that have not done for several months.
DeeGee Oct 2022 10:43am, 12 Oct 2022 22,169 posts	0 DeeGee I ran a marathon in glasses for the first time this weekend. Really can't read a thing any more with contact lenses.
McGoohan Oct 2022 10:58am, 12 Oct 2022 51,745 posts	0 McGoohan Despite now having varifocals I tried to run a couple of years ago with contacts in. Unfortunately it was a navigational excursion and needed some mapreading. I could see ahead well enough but couldn't read the map on my phone. D'oh! They had to come out and the specs go back on.
Surrey Phil Oct 2022 1:53pm, 12 Oct 2022 8,589 posts	0 Surrey Phil Reading or even PC stuff with contacts in is virtually impossible. I have run in glasses if only a mile or two but prefer contacts for longer runs or races. Just got back from a lunchtime walk and realised I had been wearing my PC glasses instead of the varifocals. This may take a while to get right!
Groundhog Oct 2022 3:41pm, 12 Oct 2022 4,830 posts	0 Groundhog My varifocals bounce around too much to see well if running so I generally use contacts for running cycling and swimming (with goggles on). I have some old single vision glasses that I can run in and found that, if I slide them down my nose a bit they change focus enough to be able to read.
Hanneke Oct 2022 3:48pm, 12 Oct 2022 93,897 posts	0 Hanneke I like orienteering... When wearing my wraparound sunnies, I have to stop cycling, dive really close to map and Garmin to work things out. I have started wearing my multi-focal normal glasses now, so I can read Garmin, map and see the trail properly. Certainly, off road, I'd be very reluctant to do the one eyed thing although some fellow orienteers do...
