Progressives are great and once you get used to them they will definitely help. Only problem I've had with them is I am a school teacher and when I stand up my students are lower than me, and the lower part of the lense for me is for seeing things up close. Due to this, my students were fuzzy and I have the tendancy of staring at the back of the room because it was the only place I could look that was clear. I didn't even realize I was doing it until a few of my more observant students pointed it out to me. Such is life, I guess.
