Rita,
If by progressive you mean the no line bi-focals, I tried them and HATED THEM WITH A PASSION! You have to point your nose directly at what you're looking at. I had no peripheral vision, and was half dizzy most of the time. I almost had three wrecks while driving over by St. Louis. I had the eye doctor put half moon bifocals in. In recent years I've gotten to where I only need glasses for reading or occasionally driving late at night so I don't wear glasses to referee. But I don't see how you could ever referee in progressive lenses. Seems to me that they would drive you absolutely crazy on the court! RR
