I wear glasses all the time because of astigmatism. When I became older I found I needed glasses for distance and a different pair for close up work. I found varifocals to be ideal enabling me to read a book and look up at the tv and back without effort. In normal life the brain is brilliant at moving the angle of your head so that you are looking through the right part of the graduated lens when looking at near, mid distance or far away objects.
When I started playing table tennis 2 years ago these glasses were fine but as I improved and started moving fast to loop or block I felt that some of time I was looking through the wrong part of the lens. I asked the optician for single vision glasses just for playing and they suggested the distant vision lens. They thought that looking at the opposition player was distance vision. This seems to be working ok but I cannot focus exactly on the ball when serving but is that important?
Do you wear varifocals when playing or change to special glasses? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
