Question for the Fediverse:
I'm in need of new prescription eyeglasses.
For the last few decades I've been wearing verifocal lenses, which are costly.
My vision issues are slight myopia and significant astigmatism.
My question: To save money, could it be practical to get two pairs, I.e., one pair for distance, and a second pair for reading?
The assumption I'm making is that I could have both acceptable vision and also save money this way.
I suspect that I'm being impractal rather than practical, but I'd love to have that confirmed or refuted by someone who is knowledgeable.
Thank YOU.

@Guillotine_Jones My prescription may be similar to yours.

I have a main pair of varifocals for working typically 1m from a screen, with a narrow-ish distance region at the top. I also bought cheaper photoreactive prescription varifocal 'festival' (!) sunglasses with much more distance area. I read up close without any glasses at all.

Thank YOU, Damon, for responding.
I, too, can "read" without glasses, but find myself doing less and less reading because it's a strain.
