I tried them a couple of years ago and they just did not work for me. I'd never had bifocals, just reading glasses, but I'm at the point where I need a little far correction as well. For me, the problem was the area I would use when reading was so small (literally about the size of a pea) that I could not read a single page without moving my head. I gave up and went back to readers. I think I'm going to try regular bifocals instead. Part of my problem is that I need relatively narrow lenses or else they hit my cheeks (annoying), so I don't have a lot of space to work with.
