Default Speaking of Vision -- How 'bout Progressive Bifocals?

I have reading glasses (now mandated by my medical...) that have relatively
small frames and are very light in weight. When I need them, I simply put
them on over my sunglasses and just slip them down my nose to where I look
over them to scan outside and can just glance down to read something.


I don't think that's an option for me, as I am incredibly near-sighted.
I need glasses on ALL the time for distance -- so swapping (or adding)
glasses in the plane really wouldn't help the situation.

It's really frustrating, as I've got excellent close-vision -- with a
focal length of about 6 inches from my nose. Thus, removing my glasses
has become my preferred way of viewing sectionals, but that makes
maintaining any kind of a scan (inside OR out) impossible.
