Knew a friend who was a doctor. Said your brain is very malleable and adaptive.
If you wear them for a week, you will probably adapt and stop noticing the progressives, even walking around and going up/down stairs.
I've had progressives for years. They suck, universally.
I've had mine about 9 months and I definitely still notice the distortion. I'm glad to see my opinion validated here. My doctor talked the progressives up, and maybe a lot of people do like them, but I'm definitely ready to try the traditional split lens.
