Hi Shrimpdragon , you can have your eyes focal lengths set different ie left eye for reading and right eye for distance creating what they call monovision .
It doesn't suit everyone but for those that it does it illuminates the need of glasses .

My contact lenses are monovision too, it works very well except my mid range is a bit poor. Glasses are varifocals.
Read unaided with left eye, right's better for distance.

So in effect you drive with one eye, greatly reducing your distance judgement, is your insurance company aware of this?

I have never heard of deliberate monovision before and I am intrigued as to how that works if driving a car.
About 7 years ago I became blind in one eye so now I have monovision. I can still drive a car and do not need to notify the DVLA providing I have good vision in my remaining eye. By good vision they mean that the retina is in good health, I can read a number plate at 20 metres, and I have full field of vision and have been given the ok by an optician or GP.
If you deliberately reduce the vision in one eye i.e by fitting a lens suitable for reading you could find your remaining eye isn't up to the standard for driving.
