Just been through this as I’ve moved to varifocals. I’ve been wearing single vision contacts for 20 years.
Glasses – after a period of slight adjustment / learning to move your head up and down to look through the different part of the lens, its fine & easy, becomes natural. Just get some stylish glasses.
Contacts – rubbish for me. I had three options:
a) Varifocal lenses – left with with the feeling of 85% total prescription all distances, wasn’t comfortable and abandoned the idea, plus they were twice the cost.
b) Mono Vision – wearing the correct distance lens in one eye only, the brain corrects the rest. Better than a) above bit still a compromise – probably 90% of perfect vision all distances
c) Wearing my glasses most of the time, and wearing normal contacts when needed / for cycling accepting the fact that it’ll be trick to read at close distance but hopefully I won’t need to.
