I also had trouble with reading and computer screens, finally caved in to get progressives. Better, but still not the same.

I don't have any useful suggestions for the OP, but I'll make a suggestion for you, Scoob. I had similar problems when I had to start reading from a desktop computer screen many hours/day using usual progressives. I had no problem using my laptop at home, sitting in my lap. I found out this is a common problem. Desktop computer screens are farther away than the usual focal point for readers or the lower part of bifocals/progressives. They're usually also higher off the ground. It was causing a lot of neck pain for me as I found myself holding my head at an awkward angle. The near vision component of regular progressives and reading glasses are set up to focus at about 12" while computer screens are usually at arms length. I ended up w/ a pair of "computer" progressive lens glasses (also referred to as "work" progressive lens). That took care of the problem. From what I read, this is a common problem as the eye ages. Once the neckache resolved, I was eventually able to resume my usual progressives. IIRC, the optometrist was able to write a prescription for the "computer" progressives using the regular progressive prescription. I think that's the case, but I may be wrong. Your optometrist/ophthalmologist should know the details. Good luck.
