I'm in .B.'s boat. Been using varifocal contacts recently. For someone with atrociously short sight plus loss of accommodation, they're great - can do most things without even needing reading glasses.

What sort are they Badger? I tried two different sorts:
1) you wear a short-sighted one in one eye and a long-sighted one in the other eye. You'll get used to it, I was told. I didn't - it gave me crashing headaches.
2) you wear actual varifocal lenses with a shortsighted bit in the middle an long-sighted on the outside. With my prescription these were very thick and I found them too uncomfortable.

Hubby has just arrive home with his new varifocals
I'm waiting for my appointment to have my varifocal contacts fitted ( I actually have normal distance vision but can't read my garmin without reading specs.... and can't run with reading specs on)

Actual varifocals, though the exact detail of how it works might be a bit different from what you described there. My prescription is about -6 left and -9 right, and if anything I find them more comfortable than the lenses I was using previously. It's not quite night and day, but both close and distant things are a little sharper (because he'd knocked a little bit off the prescription so my close vision wouldn't be so compromised with the non-varifocals).
