Yeah, can't get much cheaper than readers, unless you want to get a pair with glass lenses for very long term (much harder to scratch, can shatter)

Maybe I’ll get a prescription for readers next time. I got progressives last time I was at the doctor and love them for when I’m around the house.
Progs are pretty great. Some minor downsides, but comparing them to a lined bifocal... Depends on personal preferences.

Neat Sherlock Holmes Ian trick, at about halfway up your lens, near the nose, and temple, there are some laser etchings (your progressives) these should tell you what kind of lens they are and how much add power you have
