Les, There is another solution for presbyopia when you are myopic, as I am. I tried bifocals and gave up. I'm 65 and still use single-power lenses. The trick is to have glasses that can be positioned at any desired distance down your nose. If I have mine tight against the bridge of my nose, I have distance vision. If I move them down 1/4", I have computer/reading vision. If I put them down at the end of my nose, I see sharply at 8". I see at 5" with the glasses off. This works best with extreme myopia; I don't know how bad your eyes are. The downside is that you look really old with the glasses down your nose. On the other hand, there comes a time when we decide how we see is more important than how we look. (I know this thread is old and dead, but I was off tuning in my old haunts and didn't have time to check the list.)
