A whole light unit replacement, reflector and bonded on front lens with H4 logo a moulded on feature; VW Bettle, can't remember now if it was our 6 volt one or one of the newer 12 volt cars.
I recall fitting Wipac Quadoptics to replace the Lucas sealed beam units on a couple of cars - huge improvement - one Escort received the full boy racer treatment with 4x Cibie Oscars !
My current specs are supposed to be anti glare, but do not seem to be very effective? Maybe pay the extra for a quality pair with decent anti glare. Hardly ever drive at night so mainly for those really sunny days when they sometimes occur.
I got bored paying for expensive coatings so I could drive at night and after Xmas treated myself to cataract removal in both eyes.
My wife had two cataracts removed back in 2014 prior to a trip to India and the difference in her vision was nothing short of amazing. She has only recently had to have a distance prescription for glasses. Hope yours lasts as long as her has done.
Almost an exactly similar result; had mine done in 2015 and have only within the last 5 weeks gone back to distance glasses. This mainly to ease eye strain, as I was great every morning but started struggling in the evenings. Going back to glasses no issue all day.
Binoculars and telescopes can be used without glasses even by people who normally wear them - the focus control will adjust to a slightly different point and effectively correct your vision in the same way that glasses do - apart from the very cheapest binoculars, they all can adjust the focus on one eyepiece to reflect any difference in prescription from left to right, in addition to their main focus control which alters both eyepieces.
I still wear varifocals while I'm driving but not any other time - my distance prescription is only 0.25 but the reading prescription ensures I can see the satnav clearly.
My binoculars are Zeiss 10x40 but they cannot be adjusted to cater for the fact that I have prisms in my glasses prescription. So it’s not possible to take my glasses out of the sequence.
As did my wife a few years after yours. She wore glasses or contacts all her life. But now has good short and long distance vision.
Do they do cataract removal on the NHS and if so what to they do as apparently I have cataracts in my right eye. Apparently the operation can cost about £5000?
Yes they do cataracts on the NHS. My wife had hers done that way six weeks apart. But in recent times some trusts have decided to only do one eye. Then as he second eye gets worse they may do that one later. Yet one trust is now doing two eyes at the same appointment, with outcomes being very good. It’s a post code lottery.
Privately it was £3450 for each eye, that was with the cheaper lens that just sorts the distance vision, £4450 if I wanted the all singing and dancing lens that corrected both for distance and reading.
