Please help me see at work!

[Helpmechooseausername]

I am short sighted and wear contact lenses. I'm also old and wear reading glasses to read or use my phone.

At work I sometimes have to do a job that involves reading from a piece of paper and then looking back up at a computer screen and I'm really struggling with it! If I put my glasses on to read the paper I then have to take them off (or peer over them like a granny!) to see my screen properly, which is annoying as it takes a couple of seconds for my eyes to adjust each time.

Is there a solution to this? Please help a blind old lady 😂

Will you need something as strong as varifocals? I have glasses with a 'boost' at the bottom of the lens which gives me a little greater clarity for reading and screen work without comprising distance.

Also an optician should be able to sort you specs which you can wear for reading or screens while you have contacts in. Plus if needed for work you can get a voucher from employer giving you money off the cost.

Occupational lenses.
I think I have 3 zones in mine. Close up readers, slightly further away for screen and more of a distance for students at other side of lab.

Mine are Safe to drive with too. They weren't cheap but as they are such good quality, they have replaced all other specs. As I only have one good eye they need to be a good quality as possible and also have UV darkening too to protect my retina.
