No, I have some vision irregularities in one eye that would make monovision lenses impossible for me. My distance vision needs only a very minor correction, but everything closer than that is a mess, so I use progressive lenses in my glasses, which takes care of most situations. I do have separate computer glasses, which I use if I am going to be working on the computer for a while.

My contacts are monovision but I don't use them very often. The distance eye is great, however the near focus eye, if actually specified to my near focus, makes the whole setup so unbalanced I can't get used to it, so my 'near' contact is more like a 'nearer' and not good enough for even reading a phone screen.

There are now some progressive contact lenses which are supposed to have the same or similar qualities to progressive spectacle lenses (which I have on my glasses). However I can't get them in the country I live in yet and so haven't been able to try them out. The reviews of those are very polarised, some people love them, some people just didn't manage to ever get used to them.

For me I use my spectacles with the EVF on my M50 which has just enough diopter correction to make it work through the main part of the lens. Or I'll wear my contacts when out shooting however that makes the LCD pretty much unusable, can't focus that close.
