Recently I had a client who complained that too much of the lens was "wasted on the reading area for books ". He does 99% of his reading on the computer screen or phone, but also wants the distance zone of to be as wide as possible for "safe driving", and wants "not to go swimming" (e.g. he wants absolute as close to no swim as possible)

I see a growing trend of people who don't benefit from the classic "40cm/60˚" reading zone paradigm. Who want the greatest clarity in the 70cm-3M zone and are willing to sacrifice wide near vision to get it, but not willing to sacrifice wide distance.

I'm curious what lenses all of you think is the absolute best lens for people in this catagory, and what's your goto lens for these people with when they don't want to pay top dollar.
