I am using progressive glasses, but having difficulty reading phone and computer so take them off. defeating the purpose?

OFFICE progressive: You must be naturally near-sighted and reading without glasses is fine. Shamir makes a progressive (the office) designed for computer/reading that is considered a short environment lens. It is not good for driving so it can't be your only pair of progressives but it gives a wider field of vision than a regular progressive lens and is perfect for the computer..
