I hear ya. Twisting my head and craning my neck to use the needed section of lens doesn't work for me in a lot of situations - same reasons.
I have a cheap presciption reading glasses for reading and any job that like brakes and under the car.
My old reading glasses are now about the right strength for the computer.
Interesting.
I have a set of $$$ progressives they talked me into but only find them useful in limited circumstances. Too much distortion and the head position thing for stuff like running the table saw and they're not safety rated anyway...
