I have varifocals plus a proper set of single prescription lenses set up
for computer use. I add to these clip-ons at +1.5 and +3 diopter for
reading small text and for close-up work.

eg eBay item 172952541377

Being a bit nerdy I would worry not only about astigmatism but other
aberrations in things like this.


Always blame the varifocals if you fall down some pub steps when ****ed up.

The one thing that I have never really got used to with my varifocals
are the cut and cornered paving slabs in shopping precincts that rise
and fall in height for disabled access to buildings.
