I have a pair of bifocals for daily routine, a pair of reading glasses
(+1.75, from Wal-Mart) for when I'm in bed and don't need to see
anything but the book, and a pair (+1.50 from Wal-Mart) for computer
use. 


Someday I'm going to have a computer screen ground to my prescription,
but until then, the cheap reading glasses are ideal for
single-distance use, and it keeps the expensive bifocals from wearing
out.
