If you need "readers" and wear sunglasses, I found these clip-on flip-up readers that eliminate the need to switch back and forth. Very useful IMHO.

If you measure precise eye-to-panel distance before getting a prescription, a pair of glasses with progressive lenses will nearly eliminate presbyopia issues. They drive some people insane but have been miraculous for me.

They gave me a sore neck. I've been using multifocal contacts for a while and they work pretty well but I still need readers to pick small text off of the charts, especially at night. But the panel is pretty much in focus without the readers (and blurry with them).
