As you get older you need 'reading' glasses to allow your eyes to focus on close-up things like books.
Now the thing about those reading glasses is that they will have a focal distance where things come into focus for your eyes. (The lens in your eyes plus the lens in the glasses gives a multi-element lens with an overall focal distance.)
I have a night-reading pair of glasses which have a focal length (for my eyes) at around 9 inches between my eyes and my kindle.
Obviously i can't sit so that my eyes are 9 inches from my 43" 4K TV computer monitor, so I have a pair of 'computer' glasses that have a focal length (for my eyes) of about 20-24 inches from that monitor.
Now you CAN go into the local supermarket and get a pair of reading glasses of suitable focal length, but ....
The best glasses for reading are made from high quality optical-lens glass. That makes them expensive, but they're a lot better in the long run. Also your eyes may have different focal-lengths, so you may need different correcting lenses for your left and right eyes. It's possible for one eye to be able to focus with a set of 'cheapies', but the other eye may be out of focus. And that's not good.
When I have my eyes tested periodically, I get one set of glasses for 'night reading' and another set of glasses for 'computer use', as well as my ordinary bifocal everyday glasses. (Bifocals rather than those progressive focus lenses because I find the narrow width of field means I have to turn my head rather than just flick my eyes left and right. YMMV.)
Note that the short-distance glasses (night-time and computer) don't require changing as often as the 'everyday' glasses, so you can alternate getting new ones, so: one eye-test - everyday glasses plus night-reading, the next eye test - everyday glasses plus computer-use, ......
