I tried progressives twice. First time I went back to bifocals. Second time, I just ditched 'em and wore my previous pair. This year, I replaced those bifocals with trifocals. It's taking a bit of adjustment, but other than having to hold my head up a bit more than desired when at a computer, they're OK. I couldn't get used to the "half dollar at arm's length" size area of clear focus wtih both progressives. Too much blur, and absolutely no peripheral vision. I've talked to others who (quickly) adjusted to them, but I couldn't. I don't wear any correction with riding, though. Just sunglasses.
