I like my progressive lens setup a lot. If I move my head to just the right position I can read at almost any distance. I have three pair: 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 pair of normal, and a backup pair that are transitions. Having lost about 30% of my visual acuity in my right eye (due to my helmet clad head slamming into the asphalt), I'm ever more thankful for the sight I do have.
