Default Progressive lenses OK for pilots?

I figured I would try a progressive lens ...


I had progressive lenses when I started flying, but I found they produced
some subtle distortions that I found bothersome. I changed to trifocals,
with the middle range adjusted for panel distance. They work fine.
