Hi, Jules.
I am on my second pair of progressive lenses. I hated them at first. I found it very difficult remembering to move my head for the most benefit of viewing with the progressive.
I am enjoying my newest progressive lenses. I made the mistake the first time of getting glasses with too small a lens, I was doing more viewing over them than through them.
I really like the current glasses and adjusting to the progessive lenses seems easier this time, probably because I took into consideration lens size and shape.
I had considered trying lined lenses but I was told if you start with lined stay with lined and if you start with progressive stay with progressive. Apparently many find it difficult to adjust once they are used to either the lined or progressive. I don't know if that's true but what I buy is too expensive to start experimenting
Umm, just in case I rambled too much.....I love my progressive lenses
