Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is Raley's? I ,mean, there is a big selection of them at, say, Walgreens, and I have no idea what's good, what's bad, nothing.

Okay, yeah, that's pretty funny.

Raleys= grocery store that apparently sells just the one brand of reading glasses so I don't have to make a lot of decisions. I don't know of any differences between reading glasses, beyond get the ones that are the right magnification and fit on your face okay. Once again, I am not really helpful, sorry.

All this talk of standing desks is inspirational.
I'm migrating to a new computer and monitor today and have been considering a standing configuration.
Mostly, because my much bigger than expected dog (he's gained 4lbs in 10 months, takes up nearly all my office chair, most of the time. If I'm not standing, I'm perched on 1/3 of the edge. Better for posture, but pretty hard on the bum.
So. I stand.
Might as well make it official.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Reading glasses: all of mine are the cheap $12 ones from the drugstore, because I like their funky frames, and magnification is magnification. The only pair I have that I dislike and never wear are the ones that cost $25.
The cheaper ones are less sturdy and more likely to be destroyed by, say, someone sitting down on them. That's why they come in multi-packs, I think. I've only ever broken one, but YMMV.

I get the 3 for $18 jobbies from Costco. And, I have 9 pairs. Because I'm terrible with leaving them places or tucking them into pockets.

I loved that Jamaican parody of the VW ad.
