I have trifocal glasses and also use multi-focal contacts. With the contacts I have never had vision as good as with the glasses, and if I'm driving I prefer the glasses so I can see road signs from a greater distance. It's also harder for me to read and use the computer with the contacts than with the glasses, so I lose some close vision as well. I don't think it's a case of not being able to find the correct spot on the contact lens; I just feel the prescription never quite seems the same. My optometrist (my own age, has worn glasses/lenses since childhood like I have) says that with many people there is a tradeoff with some lenses--you gain better distance vision, but lose crisp up-close vision, for instance. I tend to lose a bit of both, but then, I have pretty lousy eyes! It's a factor of age and the prescription being good but never perfect at all distances.
I would say absolutely do try the multi-focal contacts and be sure to give them a good long trial so you really know how to "work" them. They may be idea for you as they are for many folks! Mine are now more for when I am going to be outside at an event, or want to go without glasses for a special occasion. But that is me, and not you. Do try them.
Be aware, as you get used to them, you might turn your head suddenly (as in glancing to the side while driving) and find your vision is suddenly a bit blurry--but you will work through that. It wasn't ever a safety issue for me. But it was disconcerting at times when I first had the lenses.
