well, guess you have settle in on something or the other .. unless you want
to keep a variety of glasses around

what we need is auto-zoom lenses ... maybe one of these days nanotechnology
will give us microprocessors embedded in lenses; AI will figure out the
focal distance and trigger changes in refractive power something along the
lines of "Transitions" changing the level of tint ... not in my lifetime I
would not think ... we'll probably just fix the eye
itself instead ...

These have already been invented. They are called progressives. From my
experience they work. Although my Rx is different than yours, I recommend
Zeiss PAL, unless the ODs around here think that it won't be proper for your
prescription.
