I don’t either but I sure would like to be able to read stuff sometimes.

You can do that with this novel technology called “a second pair of glasses for reading”.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to constantly adjust because you only need to read something quick, try taking off your glasses and squinting.
Could save you thousands of dollars and hours on the line with technical support.

It works, I can confirm it.

Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.
Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.
I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”

When I play a board game and need to read the cards I need glasses. But if I want to look at the player across the table I have to take them off. Squinting doesn’t seem to help.

Is that the same as Progressives? I have them. I hate the areas that don’t work on the sides. People get used to them I guess, but I don’t have to wear mine most of the time. And even if you are used to it, that means you have some distorted peripheral vision when you wear them.

They can be depending on your vision issues. Mine are essentially bifocals where the reading portion isn’t visible. If I focus there’s a tiny fuzzy line where the readers meet the normal lens.
To be honest I wasn’t aware of the sides issue and it seems you might have different problem that requires a third lens.
