These days I use my regular transition lenses for everything. I used to use old-style bi-focals for daily wear, and a separate dedicated pair of glasses for computer use. I tried the transition lenses and, like you, they made me nauseous. I certainly couldn't use them for riding motorcycle, where peripheral vision is mandatory....
Then, about a year ago, I learned that there are 'transition' lenses and there are TRANSITION lenses... Instead of just a small area in the center of the lens shaped like a skinny figure-8, on the better transition lenses the figure-8 area is much wider and takes up most of the lens area. Yes, there is still a narrow outer edge area that is blurry, but not enough to be a problem, even driving. And with the larger viewing area, with just a slight tip of the head use the same pair for reading, computer, supermarket shelf viewing (without needing to put my nose right up to the shelf,) walking and driving. These cost me an arm and a leg, but the convenience was worth it. One pair of glasses (mine even change from clear to sunglass) for everything.
I think the lens was made by either Hoya or Nikon, but I'm not sure.
