For Tom Thibault:

Tom:  Have you considered Lasik surgery?.  I had been wearing trifocal lenses for years and was desperate for a solution.

I had the procedure on both eyes in one afternoon back in 2000 and was very pleased with the results.  The only drawback is starting from day one, your eyes begin to age (normally?) and now I am back to using readers for the closeup work.  Might have to have the procedure repeated????

My procedure was done in Concord , CA by a Dr.G.V. Simon who is board certified in Ophthalmology and also is a senior medical examiner for the FAA.  You might want to look into Lazic if you havent already.
