I believe I've seen people on this board mention task glasses (computer and reading) that are 2-range progressives. They don't have the distance part.
I have Varilux panemic progressives (see my other posts on this board) and have a terrible time with reading. Very narrow reading area. Very narrow when looking at computer screen, too. So I'm thinking either bifocal or progressives for computer/reading.
My eyes are basically +1 for distance, very tiny bit of astigmatism, and then +1.75 in the reading area. I use 2.75 cheaters for reading. Doctor wrote my prescription for these task glasses as +1.75 for the mid/ and +1 for reading.
If I am correct that there are 2-range progressives, are they just like these progressives I already have, minus the distance? With very narrow fields of vision? Or do they have wider fields of vision?
I asked the eye doctor and he didn't know. He said to ask an optician. So, that's you guys!!
If I got a bifocal instead, would they put the line right down the center? So about half would be for computer and half for reading? In bifocals, can you see all the way from one side of the glasses to the other without turning your head? Just like with cheaters?
