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 I gave up on varifocals, they were pushed very strongly by the ales rep after the eye test by optomotrist. I have age related short sightedness and astigmatism in one eye. Never got much satisfaction from prescription glasses. Now use off the shelf plastic +1.5 for screen and +2 for written text. Tried augmented reality glasses once, they were brilliant because the stuff being viewed was at infinity.
@vinh
I may just look into these option a bit more, vinh.
Thank YOU for your suggestions.
