Default sunglasses

Progressive lenses are not "progressive bifocals". I've been wearing and flying with progressive lenses for years. Vision is corrected to 20-12. Progressives do take some getting used to, however they allow distance vision, close-up reading and everything in between - like the panel.

Some people cannot adapt to progressives, too bad, they sure are great if you can!

There are some very good reasons not to use progressive bifocals for flying. Use lined bifocals instead. This will optimize the visual acuity for what we need. distance vision (to spot other aircraft, birds, etc.) and arms length vision (charts, instruments, etc.).
