I've been wearing glasses since age 45, initially just for reading, then with a fairly small distance correction. So I have used varifocals since age 48 or so. I have recently started wearing varifocal contacts with one eye biased towards distance vision, and the other biased to near vision, and I am very happy with the result.
I think if you decide to use varifocal glasses you need to get the best lenses available, and start while the correction needed is still fairly small. Of course, nothing will stop the glasses steaming up, getting dirty, or just plain falling off at a difficult moment...and the frames always seem to be just where you want to look.
