since I have astigmatism, I've had glasses for distance since I was 18, but my close vision is just fine, and I can read without glasses. From age 18-45 I only needed monofocal glasses. After 45, my eyes could no longer adjust to close vision through my continuing distance prescription - so bifocals it was. Or take the distance vision glasses off (the opposite of the reading glasses technique), but it was easier to go bifocal.
