You're welcome.
As for the computer screen giving you trouble, that's another common
complaint with progessive wearers.
It's usually due to the narrowness of the intermediate corridor.
Most multifocals have a wide distance area at the top of the lens, and
an almost as wide area at the bottom for reading.
But, the intermediate (in-between) area is very narrow (picture an
hour glass shape), so shifting your eyes just slightly right/left will
make the image blur.
Many people who spend alot of time on the computer will order a set of
single vision glasses set to their intermediate range (which is
approx. half of their reading ADD power).
For you, your intermediate single vision Rx would be:
sphere cylinder axis
od +0.25 -1.50 105
os -1.50 -1.75 88
PD would remain the same.
