I have progressive lenses, basically bifocals without the transition line. It took me a while to get use to them too, especially when it came doing work with a rake right at my feet. I remember the whole disorienting feeling, even just about falling over a couple times because I had difficulty telling which way was vertical. It took about a week before my brain adjusted to the information my eyes were feeding it.

Yeah, been there. My last checkup revealed signs of cataracts, so I had the surgery and the 'sucked' my lenses out of my eyes and replaced them with plastic ones. I now revel in 20/20 vision with just a cool pair of Raybans. (I had been wearing glasses or contacts since almost 60 yers ago).

I've found varifocals help with reading and distance vision, but do nothing to help me with working at my computer, which is what I do for about 12 hours a day. As a result, I work without glasses when working at my computer.

I got my first pair of varifocals a couple of months ago(I am 47 so and was starting to find I had to take my spectacles glasses off to read a book my kindle).
I went to specsavers and decided to spend a bit more money top get the one down from top range varifocals, which even with my contact lens reduction came to a lot of money.
I have not noticed a huge difference, perhaps because I went more for the top of the range varificals I don't seem to have had any issues.

Stupid glasses...
I had headaches without them...
At least mine are not varifocals (or whatever it is called)...

I don't have prescription glasses as I don't need it. I have tried sunglasses and after a minute or so it gives me headache so no glasses ever. Except when I have to look cool in a pic. 
At my previous test, they told my vision and hearing are incredibly good. I can really hear faintest of noises in the house. Few days back I could hear water dripping from tap in the toilet at home. Mind you it was in the bedroom, the door was closed and I was on the couch watching something on YouTube.
My sense of smell is horrible. I think I just can't smell unless it is horrible.

Thanks OG. That's a bit early for the draw on the 20th May, but it gives me longer to forget to buy the ticket.

I can't see that far ahead - you'll have to remind me nearer the draw date.

After years of being a loyal iPhone user for years, I'm finally giving in and switching over to Android having just ordered a Galaxy S7 Edge (< £500 SIM free). Should be delivered tomorrow.
I just don't know what's going on at Apple these days.. there's no innovation, iOS seems to get worse (user experience and bugs) with every release (my main gripe is with the music app shuffle and repeat functions) and battery performance is downright dreadful (shutting down randomly when the battery gets below 75%). I was in the Alps earlier this year and my mate's Galaxy phones coped well all day on the slopes while my iPhone 6 died after about 20 minutes 
I just can't stick with a phone that shuts down when you're least expecting it and I can't justify spending > £600 on a new iPhone that may (or may not) do the same thing and that doesn't offer much more then my iPhone 6..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Welcome to Android!
A new world of fresh and wonderful bugs awaits you. You will learn a new set of swearwords - purely Android related...
But at least it costs less...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It's been a difficult decision.. battery issues sealed iPhone's fate for me
I had an Android a long time ago - the HTC Hero - which I quite liked at the time. I "upgraded" to a Windows Phone 7 which was so bad, I binned it halfway through my contract and bought a refurbished iPhone 4 which was really good.
So it was Microsoft that got me using iPhones..

Why does it even need a music app, it doesn't even have a headphone socket.

Don't even get me started on that! What a nuts idea removing it..

My wife's been on that the S7 Edge for about 6 months now and has had no issues. She really likes it.

Dont put your iPhone too far away. Maybe after some week you will experience that it can be worther.
Be prepared on doing annoying tasks like setting up accounts and repeat stupid input and alerts.
PS: I had setup an Samsung some weeks ago and it was a mess.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Pretty much all of my stuff is in OneDrive and Exchange so it's pretty simple to set everything up on any device.
I'm keeping the iPhone though, it'll be useful for iOS development.

My Blackberry Passport lasts a couple of days of normal usage. No-one in the US seems to offer them anymore so I shall have to go the Android route in August when my contract is up. Not really looking forward to it. I love my Blackberry. It does everything I want the way I expect it to.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Your message title, for some reason, brought back an old memory from my Pogo collected works:
The gentle journey jars to stop,
The drifting dream in done.
The long gone goblins loom ahead;
The deadly, that we thought were dead,
Stand waiting,
every one.
I miss Pogo, Albert, Churchy, et al
