They are very tiny thin needles, inserted at specific points on the body to stimulate different sorts of responses by releasing energy from the tissues. It originated in China but is practiced in the US by licensed professionals who take serious training (we have a school of Oriental Medicine here so we have an abundance of practitioners). The needles don't hurt, the entire process is very relaxing (to me) and between the brows had the effect of botox, flattening out the crease considerably by releasing the muscles underneath it. It didn't affect my expressions or facial control in the least.
Not joking, it might be a solution for your feet as well.

Yeah, wait til you see the list of food triggers.. I'd rather just die of skin rot than do that.
But, that's why I doubted her in the first place. I've had exams by 3 different derms and they never uttered the word 'rosacea' so I think I will stick to letting her wax my brows and tell her to butt out of the rest.

Pops...a girl I used to know suffered from Rosacea. She was married to a famous tennis player...her marriage broke up...then for the first time Rosacea flared up...it was all over her body. The specialist told her that stress is a common trigger.

Is the Rosacea just across your cheeks? Does it have the "butterfly' shape to it, you might want to ask your Dr to run a sed rate and an ANA blood test. That can answer a lot of questions about autoimmunities

Rosacea and Celiac (Gluten/Wheat allergy) are both autoimunities so probably going on a wheat and gluten free diet will help you. It's not as bad as you think and there are plenty of good alternatives to wheat that taste just as good and will help you have a lot less problems.

I'd personally ask for a refund for both the eye exam and the lenses, and then go somewhere else and have a retest with someone else.
(Been there, done that).

Multifocal - Varifocal, whatever Poppy, the object is the same.
The point is that Multifocal lenses aren't just for reading or close up, they're for wearing all day to correct your near and distance sight. If you can't see at distance now but you can see close up, then the lenses still aren't working for you in the way they should do.
The eye doctor should have made sure of that before he even let you out of the exam room.
