Hm, I've the opposite eye problem. Was near sighted in my youth so had to wear glasses to drive. At 68, I can now pass the DMV vision test so I don't have to wear glasses to drive anymore. Now I have to wear cheaters to see close stuff. So I now have 2 pair of cheaters in my computer room, 1 pair in my bath room, 1 pair at the breakfast counter and a pair in each of the vehicles I drive. They're only 1.25x so quite cheap to purchase.
I have a friend who got bifocal soft contacts that enable close and far vision. They're built with concentric rings. He says it took a few weeks for the brain to make the adjustment but he really likes them.

I have to live with progressives and I find them dangerously annoying. Thanks to progressives you can clearly see feces and needles on the sidewalk. Like all progressives, you are forced to tolerate them even though you want to beat them with a hammer. I say run progressives over with your car — then backup to do the job right.

I tried getting progressive lenses (called varifocals here) for computer work. I use a dual screen setup and found that the focus was not consistent across the width. I found myself having to turn my head to look at each screen instead of just glancing across with my eyes. In the end I took them back and got a pair of bifocals. I got the join between the two distances set to a custom height for me so that the join lined up with the base of the monitors.

My solution is to go with cheap readers for the computer work, liberally scattered about the house along with backup pairs.
Since I use a slightly different prescription for reading magazines, etc. I have several pairs of Photogray readers in case I want to read outside or on the beach of course).
Lastly, I have my glasses for driving (for distance) also Photograys.

I'm nearsighted. Long-distance glasses for normal life plus a much weaker pair of computer glasses for coding. The computer glasses never leave my desk, and I just switch glasses when I sit down to work. Works great for me!
