I knew there was a backstory! I wouldn't drive at night with them on if they are distorting your vision (headlights, street lights, etc). I had a couple of pair of glsss reading glasses that were like bi-focals... A small rectangular section ay the bottom of the lens was ground as a 1.25x reader but the upper 80% of the lens was plain glass - no magnification. Something like that *might* be better for you than plastic readers when driving at night. I can imagine it is much harder/more expensive to find Rx glasses that give good close up vision as well as good Rx distance vision.
