<!--mstheme-->Occupational Progressive Lenses-  Our favorite for
the baby boomer.  They have a narrow channel at the top designed
distance viewing up to 15 feet; a
large progressive intermediate zone for the computer; and a large area for
reading.  There are no lines, thus, it is cosmetically acceptable and very
functional in an office environment. Various occupational progressives
have different designs.  We will match the right progressive to your
needs. 
Best to leave at your desk.  Note the traditional progressive has a
large distance area and a smaller, lower intermediate and reading area.

Once you have adapted to your progressives, be sure to visit your vision clinic's optical for frame tune ups every 3 months. With progressive lenses, it is important that they are centered to your eyes to work properly. With regular glasses wear, the frames can get out of alignment and decenter the lens to your eyes.

1: The success rate of wearing a progressive depends on the individual. My mom, for example, can only wear Varilux Comfort, where a customer of mine a couple days ago couldn't wear the varilux comfort (after 3 attemps) but loves our "store brand", Essilor Ovation



2: The major difference between Comfort and Panamic is the intermediate width (according to Varilux reps Ive talked to)

So, if you are doing a lot of computer work, without a lot of reading, Panamic would traditionally be recommended... (though I would probably recommend a pair of computer specific glasses)



3: There are hundreds of progressive lenses out there that all have their nitch somehow. Some boast less distortion in the distance, others in the intermediate, others in the near, and then several hundred nuances in even those nitches.



The point is, there isnt a single progressive that does it all perfectly. There's distortion no matter what, you just have to find a progressive you can be happy with.



Most of the time (unless the progressive is just really bad) ya gotta just teach your brain to deal with it.



In addition to that, the fit of the progressive is of primary importance...which others have alluded to. There's no effective way of explaining all the ins and outs of that on a message board, so you'll have to visit an optical store and have them play with fit.



Face form (having a little wrap in the frame) and pantoscopic tilt (the base of the frame tilting in towards your cheeks) normally helps out.
