You're welcome, and I think it's called monovision.

I tried monovision back when I wore contacts as well. I did not like it. I want stereoscopic vision; I'll wear glasses for the close stuff, no big deal as I've been wearing them almost every day since I was 10 years old. And that's a lot of days, whipper-snapper!

Indeed, we lived in an era before the Internet. I can't imagine how lazy I'd be if I grew up in today's era, not having to do shit and being handled with the presence of terms I had never heard of like micro aggression, safe space. WTF?
