I would like to hear back from others on what decision they made on
progressive vs. lined lenses for sunglasses?

I've been wearing photochromatic progressives for a few years. Can't
be bothered with multiple sets of glasses.
Yes, progressive takes some getting used to. I noticed that the
peripheral vision of progressives isn't as good as single-prescription
lenses. My suggestion for getting around SOME of that:
Get the strongest prescription you can deal with in the upper (distance) lens.
Get the lowest additional magnification in the lower lens that works for you.
This seems to give the lens a wider horizontal usable area. My
earliest attempt at progressives gave me worse vision while turning
eyes to the side than if I had no glasses. So you end up as Fred says:
"pointing your nose at what you're focusing on". Not what most of us
thought the eyeballs were for.
