I've had mine for over a year and never had a problem with them. Hate the frames, but love the lenses. I only hope I'm so lucky with the next pair...

It took me about 3 days to adjust. It was way worse going back to an old single vision pair of glasses when they had to send my progressives back to update my lenses a year later. Depth perception was way off!

Mine seemed fine immediately. I've heard some people take a bit of time to adjust and others never do. Be sure to have your doctor recheck while you are wearing them to see if they are sitting properly in your nose, because the horizontal alignment is important.

My dh never could get used to his and went back to regular bifocals but I don't think he gave them a fair chance...that is, he would not wear them all the time because he couldn't get used to them and he couldn't get used to them cause he didn't wear them!

Some people have a hard time adapting to progressives and some never adapt at all. You want to make sure you point your nose at whatever you are looking at since the vision is only in the center of the lens. For reading, point your nose and move your chin up and down until things come into focus. I don't wear them yet, but I work for an optometrist and train people how to use them all the time. That said, they don't work for everyone and if you find after a few weeks you aren't adapting go back to your doctor. They will check the prescription and see if adjustments to it or the frame need to be made. If nothing helps they can remake the glasses for you in a traditional line bifocal or just reading or distance prescription.

I've been wearing trifocals for 2 years. It took me a while to get used to them, but now I adore them. I had to get a second pair of strictly computer glasses that live on my desk. I measured from me to the monitor, and me to the desk (so I can also read documents on the desk), then the doctor had a pair of bifocals made especially for that.
