My optometrist is still looking for the solution for me. I had perfect vision up to 50 years. t 50+ 1 day, I needed some help reading. I was using reading glasses until I changed airplane types and the overhead panel is now very close. The readers work great for the overhead and reading checklists. They work really poorly for viewing the instument panel and obscure eveything outside the window.

Tried 3 pairs of progressives and found I couldnt scan the full width of a single flight instrument without a head movement, peripheral vision was fuzzy and the straight vertical lines of the flight instrument distorted.

We use a heads up display that has infinite focus but does not work with reading glasses.

I am now awaiting occupational lenses that will allow reading portion top and bottom, distance correction in the middle but they are old school trifocals. No progressives for me.
