You might start out asking for "computer lenses". That's what I have
in the bottom half of my bifocals. (I don't want to mess with
trifocals, and a few years back they stopped making progressive lenses
for the bifocal portion. I can't wear progressives because my RX is
too radical.)


Why?

By doing the measurement and then sitting in his machine with the
numbers dialed in, the lenses came out exactly right the on the
first try.
