Soon thereafter, I noticed it was extremely difficult and ultimately impossible to hold an upward gaze above the bifocal line.

Have any of you experienced this problem too? If so, is there a solution (besides wearing them on the tip of my nose like a granny) or will I have to buy single vision lenses and carry separate reading glasses? (I do not have any muscle-related DV to complicate the issue)

my multifocals are cut lower (so I do not have to raise my eyes much), they are good for the middle range and I have another pair for far (like seeing a movie/DVD) and near (reading not on the computer).
