Thanks.
I think I'm going to ask for progressives that work for long-distance and mid-distance only. That way I won't have a problem using them for driving.
Already have the glasses that work for computer/sewing and reading. I just (duh!!!) thought to test them out for reading and they work fine for that.
My eye exam is this afternoon (have to go get dressed now!) and dh is going to drive me back and forth. Dd said she would help me shop for frames this weekend.
Everyone's comments have really helped me narrow down the solution for me. Thanks so much!!!
