TIA!
Lenses somewhat like this are used by snooker players and librarians. You probably need an independent optometrist; even then, a useful word to trigger thinking beyond the normal is "occupational"; I have a particular need for bifocals for working, and my excellent optometrist was having difficulty understanding what I was on about until she retrieved the phrase "occupational bifocals" and all was plain sailng.
