First of all, I'm both nearsighted and farsighted; I started wearing progressive lenses over 25 years ago. They're still scratch-free and durable, but now they don't properly correct recent changes in my vision. I started using single vision glasses for reading, computer work or mechanical work and had problems with distance vision. I longed for affordable new progressive lenses! With comparable progressive lenses now in the $300-$600 range, I figured I wouldn't be wrong if I tried them. I was impressed . . . Lenses provide correction from below (near vision) to above. I can see my computer screen or dashboard perfectly again while driving. I know my close-up vision is terrible, so I chose one of the higher magnification levels (+3.5). However, unifocal lenses make the entire view behind the hood of my car a huge blur. However, with progressive lenses I can just look up through the lenses and see the street or room fairly clearly. The only disappointment I have with these glasses is that they seem to be too prone to scratches! Like any eyeglass wearer, I've thrown away every pair I've worn from time to time. While my 25 year old expensive progressive headphones are scratch free, in less than a year I've had a few scuffs and scrapes. I just need to learn to be more vigilant, but I can also be less vigilant due to the much lower relative cost of the exchange. There are other great things! All progressive lenses need a break-in period! Most important is the need to adjust to blurred peripheral vision and other distortions that most people find odd, confusing, and sometimes nauseating. However, the eyes and brain adapt without any real effort, and most new users "never look back" through their old glasses. I'm also very sure that I consciously chose this type of glasses because I wear behind-the-ear hearing aids on both sides. The very thin but durable temples of these glasses easily slide next to hearing aids and support each other as the surfaces are not very slippery. In short, I've been using these new progressive lenses every day for a few months now. Most of the time I don't notice them because they are so light and comfortable. The near vision is perfect, although I understand I'll probably need some more correction on the top of the lenses. Interestingly, I now prefer reading glasses for computer work because I work with two screens and don't need peripheral vision correction when I'm at my desk!
