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.

Yeah they told me the same.

But it doesn't work that way. I've had them for months now and I still notice them. While walking, while looking around. While driving.

Is it much better? Yes.

Stop noticing? Heck no.

I'm still giving it some time but I really don't like the sudden weird feeling I still get from time to time. And I can't even figure out why it's fine much of the time and then suddenly I get that weird feeling again.

And just having to double chin it to see the ground in front of you is so annoying.

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.
I've had progressives for years. They suck, universally.
