No issue with progressive lens for me, driving or riding. First time I drove with progressive sunglasses I was like, damn, I could read the dash – very nice!
• It takes a few days to get used to progressive lens when you first get them, as my eye doctor told me. After that initial learning/adapting period, where to look fades into the subconscious.
• When the prescription is off (I had it once), it was very weird, gave me vertigo; not something you could get used to.
• My eye doctor said not all progressive lens are made equal. If you had them from Costco and not like them, don’t give up yet. Go to your eye doctor and try out “better” (more expensive) progressive lens.
• BTW, vision sensitivity/selectivity-wise, some are bothered by polarized sunglasses and face shield (rainbow effect), and/or pin-lock shield causing double-vision at night and in the rain. I can see them if I focus on them, but since I don’t focus on them they don’t bother me.
