2. I have a prescription for bifocal computer glasses

I work at a computer all day, and these are a must-have. They are similar to reading glasses, however the focal point is a bit further out. You wouldn't want to walk around in them. The blue blocker thing is probably mostly marketing BS, the focal point is really the thing to focus on in my opinion (no pun intended). But it's not an expensive upgrade.

I got a prescription for a progressive version this year so that I could also use them as ordinary reading glasses. These are sometimes called "office glasses". I really hated them; they created all these visual artifacts, and I couldn't get used to them. So, I returned those and got a bifocal version made with computer on top and reading down below. I love this combination and think this is the way to go. The bottom prescription is great for viewing my phone as well.
