bifocaled
Sporting split lenses
Wearing bifocals—eyeglasses with lenses divided into two sections for near and distant vision.
The term typically describes a person rather than the glasses themselves: a bifocaled librarian peered over her desk, He squinted through bifocaled eyes at the fine print.
The word carries a mild connotation of age or scholarly appearance.
