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 FWIW I have bifocals but the reading lenses are mounted much further up than normal. This means that when driving in particular I don't have to move my head, glance downwards to see the instrument cluster and glance upwards to see the road. This also works really well in normal life, glance down to read the book I'm holding or up to watch the TV. The switch point is about half way up the field of vision. Way cheaper than varifocals.

Thank YOU, Tim, for your very helpful response.
What indeed would we do without the Fediverse?
I'm giving very serious consideration to your suggestion now.
