Having not worn glasses for most of my life, suddenly a few years back, I
found myself needing glasses to read work at my desk - a cheap pair of
drugstore glasses worked for awhile. Eventually I needed something more
serious for close-up and distance - prescription bifocals were what I went
with and suddenly found myself tripping on curbs etc. Finally I got a pair
of progressives and despite warnings about 'trip effects' I instantly became
accustomed to them.
I'm still somewhat uncertain when it comes to checking focus thru the
viewfinder - to wear glasses or not to wear glasses and adjust the
viewfinder accordingly - mostly I view thru the viewfinder without glasses.
Glasses are one of the biggest PAIN IN THE ASS about getting old !

I've used progressives for almost 20 years. It took about 5 minutes
for PJ's "psychedelic trip effect" to go away; and they let me see my
iPhone, computer monitor, and scene out the window clearly. Expensive
buggers, though.

Trifocals and yes that is a thing. There are also progressives if you
like
the psychedelic trip effect all the better.

Some of the people in my wife's office have computer glasses, which have
a
slightly closer diopter for the main part of the lens, and a
conventional
bifocal diopter for the bottom. Apparently you lose infinity focus, but
for
around the house or office they are great.
I suspect that studio photographers would find them more useful than
landscape photographers.
