At the risk of being labeled bourgeois I will admit to not only wearing progressives, but transitions as well. One pair of glasses that I can use for all tasks and distances and which darken for me outdoors? Better than Lasik.

I'm thinking about focal range, clarity of focus, peripheral distortion etc. Have any of you with presbyopia found a really good lens? How about finding a good optician-- not one of these outfits that go for fashion? I am away from home (Boston) and just trashed my glasses. My daughter's dog tripped me (but that's another story). I'd appreciate hearing from anyone's who's succeeded in overcoming the issues.
