I'm 54, and I now have varifocals which work well for me in general use - especially when driving, so I can read the dashboard controls!
But if you're under 40, it sounds like they may have got the prescription wrong, either in the test, or in the lenses. An optician should be able to quickly verify that the lenses are made to the new prescription correctly. If they are, then perhaps a re-test?

I got retested last Thursday and it came out very close to the original test. He change the axis a bit. They gave me a prescription for bifocals for intermediate/near use but I did not have the money for the upgrade. So we decided to remake one pair with intermediate field of vision only which was free. When he checked my near vision and added +1.50 power everything was so clear to read up close. So I'll have my distance glasses and a pair of intermediate glasses for computer use. Later when I get the money I can have bifocals made for reading. Right now I have to hold anything five inches from my nose to read anything clearly. The intermediate glasses should be ready in a week or so. So now I have two prescriptions one for distance, one for intermediate/near.
I made sure to get copies so I can order online and save money when I can budget new glasses in.
