Not so long ago, people with presbyopia (different correction for distance and near needed) were dependent on so-called bifocal eyeglass lenses or occasionally trifocal eyeglasses. These types of prescription eyeglasses solved a problem with vision for near and distance by only one eyeglasses to some extent, but not ideal. They solved only vision for distance and reading distance. If you wanted to use them while working on a computer, there was a problem. It was necessary to look at the monitor from quite a near distance and lean your head back. However, it was very uncomfortable. They also do not act aesthetically.
