Bifocal Reading Glasses

Does anyone know where I can buy bifocal reading glasses without a prescription at a good price? What I need is for the main section at the top to be +1.5 and the bottom section to be +2.5.

They are for computer use. I use a large monitor which I like to sit back from and I find +1.5 is ideal for that but for closer reading I need something stronger.

Any ideas please?

    Thank you. These look interesting. I think I'll try a pair.

    I got around to ordering 2 pairs of these a few weeks ago. I chose the strength based on my age according to their website. Unfortunately I found them too strong for me. I contacted their customer service to ask if anything could be done and got a phone call back from France to discuss my problems. I was subsequently offered replacement glasses of the next strength down if I returned the originals.

    My replacements arrived today and they are brilliant, ideal for computer work. Thanks again LadyDee for pointing me in their direction.
