I wear glasses for Short-sightedness (myopia) but when I have them on the screen is out of focus so I have to take them off, but then everything in the distance is blurry. Was thinking about getting Bi or Vari focals, anyone go them? Opinions?

Go see an optician.

I've got varifocals and took to them right away. I had heard they took a while to get used to but I've been fine.
Get your eyes tested at one of the big opticians like Boots or Specsavers then get the prescription and take it to a small firm to get them made up. I do it all the time and got prescription sunglasses made last time too. Cost of both together was less than for one pair at the big opticians.Comment

Varifocals (aka "transitions") are the way to go. I've been using them for 15 years now, and took about 30 minutes to get used to them. Just be careful that the transition between close-up and distance isn't too steep, otherwise it'll be tricky to find the sweet spot for using a screen.Comment

You can get Interview glasses - Varifocals with a range from reading to around where your screen would be out to around where someone is sat across the desk from you. Used them for years until my distance vision faded away so now I'm on conventional Varifocals.Blog? What blog...?Comment
