I've worn the "progressives" for 15+ years with good effect. Of course
my two main functions visually are reading (both paper and this) and
driving. Pre-retirement that included serving customers (some of which
involved keeping the software that produced their invoices) 

And of course I will never forget the day in March 2020 when we laid
off our entire staff for 3 months (including ourselves - my brother
and I worked without salary for 3 months just to keep the doors open.
Which was fine for him since his wife had a $200k+ job as IT director
for her company which largely involved keeping 2000+ remote agents
happy, while my hearing impaired wife stayed home which was less
strenuous after the kids left home) - now THAT was a blow but the
alternative was closing the doors for good.

[That's what happens to computer nerds who end up running a business
do in times of crisis]
