Well, my first pair of progressive eyeglasses are great. No problem adjusting.

My new contacts (not progressive) since the onset of presbyopia are less successful. Great distance correction, 20/20, but for reading I definitely need reading glasses. Now, I don't mind wearing reading glasses, and my wife and kids think I look "cute" with readers perched halfway down my nose, and I can deal with the "old guy" connotations. But not having a pair of readers on hand when I need them is a real pain. Costco sells 3 for $18 and I'm well on my way to stashing a pair in every room in the house and in the pocket of every jacket. Now someone needs to make sunglasses with a reading lens in the bottom part. Arrgh. I'm going to ask the optometrist about progressive contacts.
