Is it always just the middle third or less of the lens that is useful - ie in focus without moving your head

I tried um and couldn't get on with them, sweet spot was in the middle of the lense so i found myself taking my eyes off the rd to look at rd signs, looking out of the corner of me eye was just blurry.

It feels like a lot more work , never mind having to also turn your head to focus

This seems to be a mental game

if you accept you’ve got to turn head a bit more then they’re just fine in fact
