Can anyone recommend "progressive" bi-focals?

The best results I've gotten are from these. I've tried the type of bifocals
that have a small circular reading section. Hated them because I had to move my
head back and forth to read. I tried trifocals. These were fine during the day,
but one of the lines went right across the brake lights of cars in front of me
at night, unless I held my head perfectly (and uncomfortably) upright.

The type I have are called by a name similar to "natural", but, of course, I
don't recall what it is.

From your post, though, it seems that your normal vision is ok -- you just need
reading glasses. If this is correct, you might consider getting a pair of half
glasses. Look straight out or up for distance vision; down through the lenses to
read. An A&P I know has these and swears by them. These would be a *lot* cheaper
than progressives.
