Mine do not. Basically, you can look at a picture about the height of your chin
on a wall 20' away, hold your head in an upright position, and walk towards the
picture. It will stay in focus all the way to the wall.

What they *do* have is blurred areas on the sides. There's a band of distance
vision across the top of the lens, but the band of clear vision narrows as you
go down the lens. Can't look at the girls out of the corner of your eyes. :-(

It's hard to be a dirty old man with progressive lenses.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
