Are computer glasses the same as reading glasses?

Are computer glasses the same as reading glasses? If not, is there one type of glasses that enables you to do both?

[San Bernardino]

No. computer glasses are different from the reading glasses. The distance for computer glasses is from your eyes to the computer screen, while reading glasses are designed for a arm's length. So reading glasses are only used for near viison and computer glasses for mid range. However, there is a kind of computer reading glasses called computer bifocals which can help you with both reading and computer use.

No.computer glasses are used to accommodate your vision for mid range.We wear them only while using computer.But reading glasses are used for focusing on the near objects. So computer glasses are not the same as reading glasses. You cannot wear reading glasses for computer use, or computer glasses for reading, either.
