Hmm. I've had to wear glasses nearly all my life, but I haven't heard of progressive lenses before. I'll talk to my optometrist and see if my health insurance covers that. :) Thanks, DPX!

Like I said, progressive lenses are terrible for computer use, but they're great for everything else. This means that if you spend a lot of time on the computer, you might need to get occupational lenses (designed for computer use) or use an older pair of glasses, assuming that switching between prescriptions doesn't negatively affect you.

Just know ahead of time that when you've had glasses your whole life (as apparently both you and I have had to endure), adjusting to progressive lenses is often more difficult than if you've never worn glasses at all. It's basically having to unlearn and relearn because you can't use progressive lenses exactly the same way as you can with lenses that have a single focal length.

It was very rough for me. I'm accustomed to them now, but I hated progressive lenses at first.
