When my optometrist suggested I get glasses with multifocal lenses I had some vague idea that maybe they would give me the vision of a fly and I’d suddenly have 3000 lenses per eye and a flicker fusion rate of 300 a second and my sight would be so keen I’d be able to catch a fly with my chopsticks
Nobody explained to me that in order to see through these glasses properly I would have to peer down like I’m Dumbledore with half moon spectacles in order to read, look dead ahead to see the computer, and look to the horizon to see well the… horizon. This is completely stupid because when I’m reading in bed I’m holding my book at horizon level and when I’m using the computer I’m staring down a bit and I don’t need glasses to see the horizon anyway
So anyway I would like recommend these to anyone aspiring to be a Nurofen junkie

I see, wearing bi-focals at your tender age whilst an old lady like myself has no need of glasses at all. Oh dear.

‘no doubt you don’t have a single grey hair’
Correct, not a single grey hair - all of them are grey.
However, I have a wonderful stylist who uses hundreds of foils (I look like a cheap Christmas tree during the process) to give me three shades of blonde highlights that effectively hide the evidence.
You know, I’m worried about the size of the font here - perhaps you should see about getting it increased so as not to strain your eyes.
tee hee.
