I had a special computer lens that does away with that - they are much better for reading the newspaper or working on the computer. I don't know the exact name but I don't have to use that sweet spot with that pair of glasses. Try wearing contacts for distance and then try to read - so you have to wear reading glasses that are stronger over your contacts. I am just at the point where I need reading glasses (on a chain -woe is me) to even read the price tags when I go shopping.
