When I had to get bifocals, I was already wearing contacts, so my doctor prescribed a distance lens for my right eye and a reading lens for my left eye (or vice versa, not sure). It worked really well for me.
It's amazing how we can adjust to things. Some people can't do the contact lens thing--my brother couldn't, but I could. My eye doctor tested me to see which was the dominant eye for reading and which was the dominant eye for distance, then prescribed the lenses I needed to fit that.
Whether I was reading or looking in the distance, I was always peripherally aware of a bit of blurriness coming from the other eye, but I could drive, read and use the computer, and that's what mattered. I went with that option for years until I had laser surgery.
