I got used to the progressive lenses. I was forced to wear them for 6 weeks when I first got them. I started working a project at a location that did not allow people to wear contact lenses for safety reasons. (A silicone plant where an explosion would melt the lenses to your eyes!). Anyway, it took less than 2 weeks to get used to them. I don't wear them regularly, but when I do I have no problem with them. (Except they'll never work for golf.)

I wear contacts regularly. I went through a time where I was wearing reading glasses with contacts just to be able to read. Distance vision with the contacts was fine, but couldn't read things up close. This became a problem when skiing, scuba diving, etc. I could see the shark, but couldn't read the gauge to know how much air I had left! Couldn't read the trail map. All those kinds of activities where you just can't wear reading glasses!

I have been very happy with a lense in my dominant eye for distance and the undercorrected lense in the other eye for reading. I tried both dominant and non-dominante eyes for the distance lense and it does make a difference which eye. I'm cross-eye dominant, or whatever it's called, so that's how I know it makes a difference.

Hope you get something worked out!
