I got some a while ago. Honestly, I don't have a problem with horizontal eye movement (just checked now, and they're fine). The vertical, now...the business where you have to find 'the right millimeter' is actually true; the thing is, I suspect your eyes will automagically find the right millimeter when you've gotten used to the lenses. I don't even notice the process anymore, although I did when I first got them.

Personally, I'm not sure I'll get another pair, but that's because they're stupid expensive, and for me, really close up work (like suturing) still requires me to take them off, and it's easy enough to take them off for reading (the other problem I had; for most of my life thus far, I've read with my glasses on; recently the words were blurred with the glasses on, but clear with them off, and I decided to get progressives rather than just take them off).

Dunno how you feel about refractive surgery, but it's an option if you want to correct your distance vision, and then you'd just need reading type glasses. (I'm still waffling about refractive surgery myself, so I won't blame you if you are as well).
