Distance glasses are optimized for viewing objects far away and are generally not suitable for close-up tasks like reading or computer work. Using them for such purposes may cause discomfort, eyestrain, or blurred vision.
For close-up activities, reading glasses or progressive lenses are often recommended. Progressive lenses, for example, offer a gradual change in prescription strength, allowing the wearer to switch seamlessly between near and far vision.
If you find yourself frequently switching between distance and near tasks, consulting an optometrist for a specialized prescription or a multifocal solution might be the best course of action.
