Tri-focals ?

Having finally succumbed to the requirement of using glasses not so much for long distance vision although I'm told a small correction was required but mainly for close-up stuff like reading Jepp charts at night etc, I chose the variable 'Varilux' type lens and after a period of getting used to it now cant get along without them ... Dam !

However, the overhead panel is a bit of a problem. Being closer to you, you need to use the 'close-up' part which is at the bottom of the lens , meaning that you have to tilt your head back to the point that it starts to 'crick' your neck, just to get the panel in focus.

Has anyone got a solution to this problem. I can't imagine having a second 'close-up' lens at the top of the glasses as well as the bottom but maybe ......

Any advice please !
