I have, and really like, progressives. It's my reading that really needs them. My vision at distance is still pretty good, but I've noticed it degrading a little in the last few years. My progressives get it back to what it used to be. Not necessary, but still nice. I like not having to wear them, but when I was just using readers, they took an awful beating because I took them off and on so much when I moved around the office. I really wanted a pair I could just leave on. That's been a change for the better.
And I still like that I can take them off whenever I want (as long as I'm not trying to read).
