I just had mine done. wonderful. I went for the straight lenses, both distant. They work fine down to about 3', when I start to need readers. I heard several not-good things about progressive lenses and am very happy with what I have. They refracted me and had my lenses ground to that prescription, which didn't turn out perfect, just very close. I might or might not get progressive glasses like I wore before, just ground to the new refraction/prescription.

My wife had hers done for mono-vision, one eye far, one eye near, came out perfect, no need for glasses at all, except for the piano, a little too far for her near lens. She had mono-vision contacts and loved them, so is totally used to that.
