Reading glasses with no magnification on top

the eye doctor's office can make them for you. That's what my DH did. (he still doesn't like wearing them, but...)

You want progressive readers.

Really? I'm wearing something similar to this right now: www.fostergrant.com/mckay-blue-light 

That is because usually most progressive need both distance and readers made to your eye prescription. Your eye doctor should be able to issue you with progressives with a clear( no adjustment needed for your general/distance vision) lens on top and progressing to magnification( readers) on the bottom.

yeah, that is an important consideration.  My DH doesn't wear his all the time, because he's just not used to the phenomenon of wearing glasses (having to turn your head to see correctly instead of looking out of the corner of your eye, loss of peripheral vision, looking thru the proper part of the lens when driving, etc.).  So he sticks them in his shirt pocket.  And they fall out.  A LOT.  I keep threatening that I'm going to get him one of those 'old lady' type chains for them, so he can wear them around his neck.  lol. 

I recently had old school bifocal sunglasses made at Costco with a prescription. The Costco rep told me they didn’t normally like to do bifocals much anymore due to the “line” you can see but it wouldn’t be noticeable barely at all in the darker sunglasses lens. Bifocals are split half in half- the top of my sunglasses I can look around like normal (my distance vision is fine) while the lower part allows me to read while wearing my sunglasses.

I can see how this would also have been great at the office- in person I used to have to use my computer with my glasses and keep putting them on my head to look at clients and talk to them. This doesn’t happen to me now with remote work.

I didn’t want progressives due to the “Learning curve” with them and for my needs with the sunglasses but it could be a good options for you.

I would also like to add in case anyone else was unaware like me, cheaper readers are NOT as good as prescription glasses!! I tried on readers and was like oh great I can see now and figured I was good and used those for a couple years. I recently had actual prescription glasses made and the difference is amazing to me. I will not cheap out on my eyes again! 😂

Order a pair from Zenni or one of the other online's eyeglass places..

I wear trifocals and the top part (distance vision) is almost nothing.
Sams made them for me about 2 years ago. I took the Rx in 10 days ago and the clerk called back to
say that they could not make them because the numbers were too low. (funny they had the ability 2 years ago) I now am going to shop around at other opticians.

Sounds like you are looking for plano bifocals. Plano is when the lens has no prescription so you want plano on the top and a reading rx at the bottom. This sounds like a line bifocal would be best for you. I searched plano bifocal reading glasses at Amazon and there are a lot of reasonably priced choices, here's just one example: Glasses. As others have said, this is something your eye doctor could do easily too. The optometrist I worked for made a lot of these for people. They were especially popular because not everyone needs the same power in each eye. Your left eye might be a +1.50 while your right eye could be a +2.00. An eye doctor can make glasses like that that you won't find over the counter.

Seems like you just want cheap readers, not bifocals like most seem to be suggesting. I bought a couple pairs at Target. They're so cheap I leave a pair in each room (I'm at the lowest level and only need them for reading so not about to shell out the $$$ for the optometrist).
