I have progressive lenses, which are essentially bifocals, but actually, they are multi-focals. The top part of the lens is for distance, like roadway signs for driving. The central part of the lens is for mid-range things, like a few feet away or my computer monitor. The bottom part of the lens is for my simple reading and paperwork. That bottom part is not essential for me to function, because I often take off my glasses to read and do paperwork anyway. In the beginning, that often lead me to leaving them on my desk, and having to go back to the office to drive home.

As for my contacts, they have me in two different monovision contact lenses. The left eye is focused for my mid-range/computer monitor use. The right eye is focused for distance and driving. Guess what that means...

When I'm wearing my contact lenses, it's almost unbearable for me to read anything up close, such as a menu. Sometimes I just ask Timber to read stuff for me in those circumstances.
