Getting progressive lenses or reading glasses is a major event... an admission of age, so to speak. I have had progressive lenses for more than 3-4 years now. The first week or ten days were hard (I was dizzy) because you need to get used to the way you use the lenses. I don't think your eyes get any worse. My prescription has not changed.

What was funny is that the day picked my first pair of glasses with progressive lenses, I had dinner with a couple of friends of mine (both use glasses). They told they did not need reading glasses yet, but when the menus and the bill came, they read those by removing their glasses or held the bill high to read it by looking above their glasses.
