It is interesting to read about peoples experiences.
There are many 'variables' to deal with. Not least the amount of accommodation that you have (i.e. the amount of focus adjustment you have in your eye). If (like me) you have/had to use trifocals (typically +3,+2,+1 for near middle and far sight) then two contact lenses will probably not cover all three regions. I also found that there is a limit on the difference that my eye/brain could cope with.
In my case I chose to concentrate on a range of 1 ft to about 10 ft. This covers close reading, computer work and watching TV! So for driving I wear a pair of glasses. I could have chosen an 'outdoor set' and used a pair of readers for close work.
I would also point out that it no more expensive to have two or more prescriptions and switch - so I do occasionally use an 'outdoor' set when I go out for the day.
Finally, one other option is to investigate putting bi-focal contacts into the mix. So one eye is (figuratively) +3/+2 and the other eye +2/+1. As I say, plenty of options/variables - as always , talk to your optician.
