6. I have and need reading glasses, and don't wear glasses when driving since I can see long distance.

Without my reading glasses on, I can't read the fine print on my car's control center's screens, or see any detail in the video that displays when I'm backing up. I have to put on my glasses when backing up if I want to see the screen, and then I can't see long distance--out front, or in the rearview mirror or side mirrors.

So for me, this would be a very, very bad solution to a nonexistent problem. (I don't have or want bifocals.)
