I assume progressive is the same as varifocal (from googling)?If so, I've had mine for about 4 years and wear them pretty much all the time. I had a conversation with optometrist about wanting to wear them for climbing, running etc and his recommendation was to not get cheapest, as the more money you spend the thinner the lenses and the better the graduation.They took a few weeks to get used to, but i really like them now, and don't even think about having them on all day, although i do take them off for reading late in the evening when eyes are tired.I'll need to replace them soon (stood on, and held together with fingertape and superglue) and will try to go for the same or very similar if possible.
Yeah, varifocal. (Is "progressive" Frenglish? I am surprised!).
....more recently changed to a specific prescription pair with standard intermediate distance option (often described as compute usage). They work great for me, footholds are clear and also work pretty well for close stuff. Think they are optimised for 0.5 - 2 metre but I'm sure you could talk to your optician to make sure you got exactly the right set up.

My optician recognised the problem as a common request from golfers who also need to see small things by their feet. How is your prescription for the fiddling in microwires by your nose question, if this applies to you!?
Yeah, I found some online glasses for 30 euros. How do you figure what correction to use for mid-distance?
