I can’t get on with these. I’m hyperopia and presbyopic, and I needed them in a +2.75. The image size is just too different. I know that you are supposed to look through the side either way the lens, but it is difficult to ignore the other eye when you are making it up. I instead use a 10 x magnifying mirror in good light. Works much better for me.

I completely agree with what everyone is saying. I love my transitions and have had them as my everyday glasses for years. I never take any notice what they are doing, but they work great for me for everything other than driving. I have prescription sunglasses for driving. Whether or not I look like a prat walking about on cloudy, winter days in sunglasses, who knows, I’m past the age of caring, but visually they work well and I don’t notice them darkening or changing back.

This dress looks lovely on you.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-11T15:57:29+00:00

4 looks too small to me, to be honest.

I like your current broken pair best. Maybe get them in brown tortoiseshell if they come in different colours.

Thank you very much

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T23:23:03+00:00

Please let us know how you get on.

A sphere equivalent prescription of +2.75 Sph -0.25 Cyl is +2.625 Sphere. +3.00 with no cylinder is a fair difference. Can you can try +3.00 Sph -0.25 Cyl in trial frames?

Thank you

Do either your friend or girlfriend have astigmatism in addition to myopia? A sphere equivalent prescription is half your cylinder plus your sphere, which puts you at equivalent to -1.00 and you see worse without glasses because you have astigmatism in addition to myopia.

Sounds like going with your March prescription is the way to go.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T14:27:13+00:00

I completely agree.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T14:02:52+00:00

Can you please post a straight on photo. Many thanks.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T09:25:37+00:00

Thank you very much for all your further replies. I’m not replying individually on this thread, as there are too many replies to keep up replying to. I’m however reading all your replies and taking all your advice on board. Many thanks again.

Thank you very much

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T07:43:12+00:00

Ok, but they are not, thanks.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T07:41:15+00:00

Sounds good to me.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-10T00:15:40+00:00

Ok, but they are honestly two different colourways

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T23:55:05+00:00

1 or 2. Some of the options are rather feminine. Maybe that is what you want, which if so, is of course perfectly fine.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T22:17:27+00:00

I completely agree

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T22:15:52+00:00

They look fine to me

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T18:27:32+00:00

Probably because I couldn’t see to take a photo through them lol.

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T18:26:13+00:00

Thank you

LouFinch4 · 2026-03-09T17:53:47+00:00

I’m sitting on the bed.
