I wear progressives, and have for some time. Yes, the lenses must be placed in the frames in EXACTLY the right spot. Left-and-right, and also up-and-down. Particularly left-and-right. I have a pair I wish I had taken back, as they are not correct. If yours are not correct, make them do it again.

Wow. Thousand dollars, eh? That seems like a lot, even with all the features.

My main glasses have the anti-glare coating, which I like. It allows people to see my eyes, and also reduces glare a tiny bit.

I would recommend against photo-grey. The reason is because this does little to reduce eye strain in bright light. The thing that reduces eye strain in bright light is polarization, which the photo-greys do not do. At some point, it might make sense to pick up a plain, prescription set of polarized glasses. For driving and whatnot. WAY more effective than photo-grey.

Oh, one more thing. Progressive lenses, I am told, have to be made so that there is one or two locations on each lens that are useless to you. Think of a square curb and a handicap-ramp curb next to each other. There is an area, between the two, where you have neither a handicap curb nor a square curb. Apparently, according to the physics of refraction, progressive lenses require some space where they "mush" some optics that are neither single-vision nor magnified. Or so I am told.
