Occupational Glasses

Hello all,
Having saved quite a bit of cash with on line glasses (distance) through following the tips on the forum I'm getting a little confused with what to do about my other glasses.
A few years ago I got some "occupational glasses" from specsavers which are great for close up work, at arm length work and a little beyond. Specsvaers call them super readers 1, 2 and 3.
I can only seem to find plain readers in the online glasses providers which are quite different. 
Anyone know any on line glasses providers that do these kind of lenses and what they may be called - they seem a bit like bifocal but maybe not?
Thanks for any help ...

If you google specsavers super readers you can find out what they are to compare....

    They read to me as a form of Varifocal/progressive lens...  giving focus from close (reader) to 1metre, close to 2 metre, and close to 3 metre distances.

    Occupational are sometimes called degressive lenses.

    Just google for < occupational lenses >  there's loadsa online sellers found.

    The trick will be with the PD measurements and corrections for the different distances if your script doesn't contain that info.  They may be able to copy some info from your existing pair to a more recent basic prescription though?  Worth contacting a few to discuss I'd think.
