progressive lens

[Rita C]

I got new lenses today. I got the progressive lenses. I had been told they took getting used to but having had bifocals in the past I didn't think too much about it.

The first thing I notice is that I don't have distance vision fully across the lens. To see something clearly I have to turn my head and fully face it. So far I really don't like it. And I'm concerned about how that can affect my officiating. The people at the vision center had made no mention of that effect.

Do I need to get straight distance glasses for officiating? And use these for the part of my life that has more variety in distance viewing?
