So, what's the verdict from my fellow "old farts" on this group? Do
you guys wear "progressives"? Or do you prefer the "lined" bifocals?
LensCrafters has a 30 day money-back guarantee (I don't actually have
them, yet), so I can change my mind.

Google this forum for answers to the same question I asked three years
ago. I put off for three years getting bifocals until I no longer could.
I got the progressives and have not had any difficulties while flying
except for trying to look down out the window, as Larry pointed out.
The best answer is that it depends on your prescription. What range do
you need the correction?
In my case, I lost my very close vision (less than 9 inches). I am near
sighted, so the primary lense is for far vision. My progressive lense
does not seem to affect vision of the panel in any of the aircraft I fly
(C182R and S, C172N, Cherokee Six, Turbo Arrow, Archer, Champ, Stinson
108) day or night.
I do not use them when using the computer, but do use them to watch the
telly across the room. Looking at the section through the progressive
lense is one of those things where you learn how much to tilt your head
so that your eyes look through the proper portion of the lense.
