   Myself, I like the "executive" style glasses -- one fixed curvature   
   above the midpoing horizongal "line", and a different one below (for   
   reading).   
      
   Actually, what I do is get the top area ground for the (largish) computer   
   screen (keyboard used by my *stretched out* arms, screen behind the keyboard),   
   and bottom segment for reading.   
      
   For fuzzy distance seeing, I look over the top.   
      
   Anyway, I like the executive style because when I want to   
   glance far left or right, I simply turn (swivel) my eyes,   
   not my head.  ie, just like nature intended.   
      
   Any other solution, seems to me, means you have to turn   
   your head, at least at some distances away.
