charlieg, have you tried monovision, where one eye is prescribed for computer distance and the other for longer distance? Then if you need to see up close, you take the glasses off.

I tried progressives and found the channel of focus too narrow. I had to turn my head to read a book. So I went to monovision and love it. I can see the whole page, the whole computer screen, and everything in the distance. Only downside is my depth perception is a bit compromised since one eye or te other is a little out-of-focus depending on the distance to the object. Rarely notice it, though.
