Marc:

I'd suggest you give them a try.  I'm in a similar situation -- I've been
using reading glasses and monovision for several years -- my distance
correction is very minimal.

My OD suggested bifocal contacts three weeks ago.  So far, they work well --
for every distance except extreme close-up and extreme distance - they cover
90+% of what I need.  It took me about 24 hours to adapt and now I have no
problems -- and no headaches.

Hope this helps -- best of luck!
