I want to share with those of you advancing in years something I learned over 40 years ago regarding trifocal lenses for using with computer monitors. I was in my 30's when I developed the need for trifocal lenses. When I got my first pair I soon discovered that the 'standard' narrow band of focus for the trifocal (midrange) part of the lens was considerably narrower than the typical monitor or laptop screen so I could not see the complete screen without moving my head up and down. My eye doc had a good laugh at my request to make the trifocal band wider, and said it would cause me to need to look over it all the time so he suggested a separate pair of frames and lenses for computer use. But he did the change and had my trifocal part increased to one centimeter in height. This was the best thing I ever did for screen viewing as it requires much less head and neck movement. The bifocal part still works well for keyboard and reading documents on my desk.
When I had a surgical lens implant, I went with a single vision lens which is considerably less expensive. I can do such things as driving and watching tv/movies with no glasses at all if I want to, but actually wear my triple vision lens all the time since they work well for reading, screen work, and normal activities without needing multiple pairs of glasses.

I hadn't thought of getting a wider band for the midrange. For the longest time, I had been resisting bifocals. Finally, in my 40's, my ophthalmologist said that I wouldn't get a wider range of vision without trifocals. I went with progressive trifocals, since at the time, I was doing I was doing my own car maintenance, such as oil changes. That gave me close up for working with tools, midrange, and distance.
I'm nearsighted and it annoys my wife when I take off my glasses to read. She wants me to get reading glasses. Each time, I ask "Why? I can read fine without glasses."; it would be another pair of glasses to keep track of.
