A lot of it depends on work environment. Are you on a computer all day? Lots of driving. Fine print work etc.
Options are basically
1) two pairs. One for far and one for near/office progressives.
2) bifocals. Cheaper but ugly.
3) Progressives. Customized to what you do for work
4) Digital eye strain lenses. These work great if you are not quite at the point of needing progressives. They can bridge between standard and progressives for a few years.
5) Multi-focal contact lenses.
6) Monovision contact lenses. One eye for near and one for far.
7) Multifocal Intraocular lens. Cataract surgery. Not everyone a good candidate.
8) Quit work and reading all together.
