  • the shaft members 5A and 5B are axially supported so as to be displaceable, and a biasing force is applied to the shaft members 5A and 5B so as to approach each other from the axial direction.
  • the wearer performs an operation (switching operation) to pull the dial portion 5b on the left eye side against the urging force (switching operation), the gear portion between the two shaft members 5A and 5B is changed. It becomes a state (disconnected state) in which the rotational force (operating force) is not transmitted by separating. Therefore, the wearer can adjust the lateral position of only the variable focus lens 3 for the right eye by performing an operation (adjustment operation) of turning the dial portion 5b on the right eye side.
  • the wearer performs an operation (switching operation) to pull the dial portion 5b on the right eye side to the axial direction outer side (right side) against the urging force (switching operation), and rotates the dial portion 5b on the left eye side (adjustment operation). operation), it is possible to adjust the lateral position of only the varifocal lens 3 for the left eye.
