 Prescription Glasses - zippy
I've just had a new prescription and I'm having a bit of trouble with them.

Two pairs. One varifocal, general purpose, one single vision IT / reading.

The reading glasses seem to have a strong sweet spot, which is something that I have not experienced before.

So, if I look at the screen directly the point in front is in focus. If I want to see something to the side or bottom (the clock for example), I actually need to move my head because if I move my eyes only the clock is terribly out of focus (as is anything outside of the "sweet spot"). So on this website, the message box is clear but the latest forum post panel is out of focus / blurry unless I move my head to look at the panel directly.

It's a few years since I have had single vision lenses, but I don't recall this effect at all.

Is this normal?

Thanks.
