Actually, I have monovision contact lenses, which are the functional equivalent of bifocals. They are OK for most purposes but neither eye reads music that well with that arrangement (one's good for distance, the other for normal reading and music falls in between). The music glasses are basically a specialized pair of reading glasses that I wear to correct my contacts so both eyes focus well at around 18".

So 200$ ( canadian ) down the tube.... You need progressive lenses (the next technological step after bifocals) that allow you to focus at any length by looking through different parts of the lens. Mine well for everything except my 17" computer screen, for which I use prescription "reading" lenses.
