I usually take my glasses off for any dedicated reading. I hold reading material about 11-12 inches from my face to read clearly. My eyes don't track together well unless I am looking straight ahead, so trying to read while looking down through the reading portion at the bottom of the trifocals is not comfortable for extended periods of reading.

I can't see clearly that far away. I have to hold it about 5 to 6 inches to see clearly. Any further and it's blurry. I am on my laptop alot or was when I had glasses that worked for it.

Once my preferred local kind of graduated tri-focals got to $500, I said heck with buying local, and I gave up on the graduated and the tri-focal too. I haven't missed it.

It looks like I can get progressives from them for about $60 with a $7 frame (Bifocals are more expensive) or single lenses pair for $9 plus shipping. The problem is my prescription is for bifocals (Intermediate/Near) so I wouldn't know how to order just prescription reading glasses.
