Yes, I'm old enough to wear bifocals, and have worn lined bifocals at +1.75 over my normal nearsighted prescription for a few years.
Since I spend a lot of time in front of a computer, I just tried moving to progressives and am having some issues: the lenses were initially ordered with +1.75 reading correction, but that correction "progresses" from the normal correction over a distance of 17mm. The distance between the center of the lens and the bottom of the lens on the frames that I chose is about 19mm, meaning that the only piece of the lens with the proper reading correction is at the bottom 2mm of the lens - not acceptable. The store is currently remaking them and bumped up the reading correction to +2.25, which should "tighten up" the correction over the given area and give more useful reading area.
