Can make things look a bit odd.

My wife tried them, but didn't like them. She had previously been quite happy with simple bifocals, but found the varifocals harder to use when walking round, though they were fine when she was sitting down, reading. She has now resorted to contact lenses, coupled with reading glasses when she is reading.
I think they are one of those things that suit one person, but not another. "Suck 'em and see" is probably the best advice.

I use them and have no problems except on the pair I use most of the time as they have a narrow lens which makes the near end of the lense a bit difficult to use, on a larger lens, as with my secondary pair, they're fine.

Had them for last 4-5 years, no problems once I got used to them, training my eyes to look through the right bit, and turning my head a little when looking to the side.
I depends on how quickly it takes you to get used to them.

I have them, and I don't even think about looking through the right bit any more.

Make sure you go somewhere that offer a trial before going to the expense of purchasing them.

Theonly thing for me is not being able to look out of the corner of my eye

I think I'm going to have to do the same - my arms aren't long enough!
