Specsavers SuperDrive/SuperDigital lenses
Discussion

As mentioned, getting the Pupillary Distance measurement right is key.
A branch of opticians franchised by a company that really should be called Cobblers tried to sell me a £400 pair of Varifocals that even with the pupillary distance correct were indistinguishable from my existing ones, but that offered clear vision in one eye at a time due to a wildly inaccurate pupillary distance. I told them to keep them and took my £400 back. 
About a month on from getting my SuperDigital varifocals and I find them perfect for driving and walking around in, but not great for sitting at a computer screen as the intermediate area of the lens is tiny, move my eyes or head a smidgen and I lose focus. I'm gong to go back to Specsavers and see if I can swap them for varifocal lense with a larger intermediate area.
For the free second pair that I qualify for, I'm going to order another pair of SuperDigitals but with reactive lenses that will live in the car.
I guess Specsavers will throw these lenses away, which is a shame as they'd be useful as a spare pair if I bought another frame.

Per my earlier post - if your car has UV-protective glass (most do now) then the lenses won't tint in the car as no UV is hitting them. I have a pair of prescription sunglasses in the car in case I need them.
Specsavers told me the same.I went back to Specsavers the other day and discussed the problem with the intermediate area being too small. They ordered another set of lenses with a slightly larger intermediate area, which I picked up the other day. They are much better, so much so I have now ordered my free second pair to be exactly the same, but with reactive tints.
Oh, and they handed back the original lenses, which I guess aren't much use to me unless I buy the same frames again to fit them into?
