Glasses with clear lenses at top and reading at bottom

Does anyone know where I can find such things? All I can see are the ones with the moon shape small lenses and I’d like ones with a line across the lens all the way across. I can’t seem to find such a simple thing anywhere. All I want is clear at the top and magnification for reading at the bottom. Any recommendations would be VERY much appreciated- thank you

An optician would be able to help but that would obviously cost more.

Bifocals with the line across are really hard to get now - they have all moved to varifocals.

I was curious and if you want off the shelf ones you can get them!

Amazon link

Google bifocal focal reading glasses clear on top. You would have to know what strength to get.

I can’t buy off the shelf as my astigmatism is too strong, so I would suggest an eye check anyway - you don’t need to buy their glasses, just pay for the test and take the prescription away with you.

My husband has these as he is unsteady on his feet and would be even more unsteady when he forgets to take his reading glasses off before standing up.
He can't get on with varifocals for some reason.

The bottom parts are prescription readers and the top is clear. He gets them from Vision express but previously had some from Specsavers.

When was your last eye test?

Amazon has these just look up varifocal reading glasses for women

My first varifocals were just like that, I got them from Specsavers.
