see post 4 the OP does not say he is suing a computer.
Now though, it appears I need the 'intermediate' ones, to read bar codes, and view the screen on a handheld gizmo,0 -
A hand held gizmo can be moved to a reading distance to look at it. As for barcodes isn't that what you would be using the handheld gizmo to read? Barcodes are designed to be read by barcodes readers not the human eye.
Based on what they have said they need them for then it doesn't sound as though it falls under DSE regulations.
If the op needs reading, intermediate and distance then unless they get bifocals covering two of those they will spend most of their day swapping glasses.
As a short sighted spectacle wearer and a fairly heavy computer display user I have never had, nor see a need, for intermediates. I have to deal with barcodes on equipment and that is where the bar ode scanner comes into play.0 -

I didn't say the OP was, I did used to use a barcode scanner back in the day and the scanner could be moved to arms length (i.e normal reading distance) and the fonts were also adjustable - you could make the font bolder, lighter and darker. You couldn't make it bigger but some of the more modern ones would allow it, I did the job over a decade ago now.0
