   My optometrist's recommendation for a two-pair solution, made earlier   
   this morning, was one "distance" pair with a smallish bifocal inset   
   adjusted to normal reading distance, and a second 100% "reading" pair   
   adjusted to my most often used reading distance.   
      
   Or, if I have dual-mode reading habits, viz. a shorter distance D1 for   
   magazines, books, and my smaller-screen laptop, and a longer distance D2   
   for the big-screen monitor on the far side of my desk, then two   
   different "reading" pairs, separately optimized for these two situations.
