I insist on progressive lenses with a wide viewing angle. I tried
bifocals once and they drive me crazy.
With good progressive lenses, distance to the monitor is no problem nor
is reading or working as close as 6 inches. I can lay a newspaper flat
on the table in front of me and read it from top to bottom without
excessive head movement - try that with bifocals!
For me, the wide angle is important - the regular progressives produce
'tunnel vision'

I must also concur with Dale, et al. I also have a set of glasses I had
the Optometrist prescribe, and I can not use my bifocals anymore, too
much head movement... That was th best money I have spent in a long
time. One thing you might consider is adding an AR coating to them.
I use ONLY glass lenses, (no polycarbonate), and have them AR coated.
The coating is finally coming off my bifocals after 5 years of heavy
cleaning. The AR coating is wonderful if you have specular lighting
events around your OP area. With an AR coating, if you clean your
glasses right, (ultrasonic cleaner), you will not even see them...
