She&#8217;s just taken ownership of her first two pairs of varifocals. There is so much Physics and Biology framed within two small pieces of glass. I&#8217;ll be carrying out lots of optics experiments on them when I get back to school. Hopefully, by then I will be used to them. Luckily, I&#8217;ve had good advice from \u00a0Mr Physics, who has recently got himself a pair. I can get the looking up to see distances and looking down to read: but it feels like my head is now in the wrong place to see. As for going down the stairs: I&#8217;d been warned to look down but wasn&#8217;t prepared to see the floor at the bottom of the stairs sloping at an angle of 35 degrees.<\/p><p>So if you think I&#8217;m looking down my \u00a0nose at you, please realise that I am trying to get you into full focus and as sharp and clear as you would have been when I was eighteen, although you probably hadn&#8217;t been born then.<\/p><p>Ha! Update, I think the long distance part of the varifocals are too high. It looks like I am getting replacement lenses. Hopefully I will then be able to look you straight in the eye.<\/p><p>New pair of varifocals are doing the business. Hope to get the second pair fixed too. Thanks to all who helped me see again.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e1515b0c027eaeaaa7232dae92981146?s=80\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-172\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrsphysics.co.uk\/bge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Signature-300x54.png\" alt=\"Signature\" width=\"127\" height=\"23\" \/><\/p><hr style=\"line-height: 1.75;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mrs Physics is getting old!
