Jay,

I've had progressives for a couple of years now. I have to wear
glasses to pass the distance part of my medical. I can actually
read the charts just fine if I don't look through the glasses.
However, raising them everytime I wanted to look was getting
to be a pain.

The key to the progressives (and probably any bifocal) and
flying is to make sure they set the "line" at the right point.
The first pair I have are set way too low. The second optician
and eye spent some more time tweaking that and they are much
better.
