I have used progressives---the area of clear visiion at any distance is
smaller--but after a while you don't notice.

I have "sick-on" (Optx) lenses on my non-prescription Suntigers. The beauty
of these is that you can move the area, and cut them down to size.
Progressives and "ground-in" line bifocals are not adjustable. You will be
surprised to find that you don't want them exactly where you first stuck
them, and you will want to experiment. I moved my Optx lower and closer to
my nose than I first thought they should be. You use the lower-outer part of
your distance visual field more than you think.

For Power--especially instrument flight--you need a much greater range of
distances to focus---from switches and circuit breakers on the lower right
panel to IAP charts.

I would like to hear back from others on what decision they made on
progressive vs. lined lenses for sunglasses?


I fly with both my progressive photosensitive glasses and with
suntigers with stick on reading correction lenses. You can get used to
either if the prescription is correct.

In general I use the progressives for power flying and the suntigers
for soaring. My next suntigers will be progressive.
