X2 on the stairs. I felt like I would never get used to them and now don't even notice them.

I've been resisting getting them. My eye doc suggested them years ago. I've run out of nose to slide my current glasses down when reading or looking at stuff up close and now just remove them.
Eh...wot?

Never had a problem from day one. Point your nose at what you want to see not your eyes. You turn your head more. Looking to see traffic coming when pulling out is my problem. You have to turn your head so far. Don't be trying to look out the edges of the glasses. JMO

I always thought that progressive lenses made everything you looked at racist?
Just happy to be here.

I had them , watch the stairs , I know it has been said but really falls kill almost as many people as cars.
you may find it handy to just have a set of near or far glasses also and a low powered scope for your deer gun..
when I got my glasses I quickly also put a 2-7 power scope on my deer gun that I had always been fine without a scope

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have used progressives for 25+ years, wouldn't have any other kind. The thing to watch out for, in my opinion, is height of lenses. For me, with a 1-1/2" high lens there simply isn't enough space to facilitate reading. 1-3/4" lens height gives room for reading and reduces sudden magnification changes. That 1/4" is only 16.7% more but it makes a big difference.
In law suits about falls attorneys make a point to ask if the person was wearing bi-focal glasses. If they were it's usually case closed! Though widely used, the abrupt change of magnification causes too many falls.
