An alternative to multifocals is glasses with one lens for near and the other for far or to use a contact lens in only one eye in addition to your normal glasses. This also obviously comes with downsides that take some getting used to but some people prefer it.
replyI don't want to reject this idea immediately without trying it, but this really sounds like it would be unpleasant to experience on a day to day.
replyYes, It's something you'd only want to do in particular situations where you know you'd otherwise keep swapping between two pairs of glasses annoyingly often.
replyI'm in a similar situation but found that getting "computer glasses" made which use the near prescription (and are not for long distance) work well for this. (I run D&D as well lol) I could not handle multifocal at all, was disorienting for me.
replyHow does that work for far vision?
replyI'm nearsighted, myself - so for near vision, I need zero prescription at the moment. (We'll see how that changes in a deacde, I guess.)
It's not for all day wear if you are going outside or driving, etc. But around the house or in a room it's fine. All depends on your prescription though. In my case, far vision is better than not wearing any glasses, but I'd not been comfortable driving wearing these.
replyThey do! The command is, cross your eyes a little bit
