I feel your suffering, I tried going down the progressive route about five years ago. I know lots of people who have them and love them, but my eye doctor told me some folks just don't click.
I tried them for just shy of a month, and after some brilliant times, I finally gave up, I kept feeling seasick. The worst was actually driving when I would look at the dash, then at the road.
I now routinely carry five pairs of eye-glasses in my pack: - walking around glasses which focus from about five feet out, and a spare pair - polarized sun glasses with the same script - moderate field glasses which are what I do 99% of my computer work with, they're focused between 18-36" - near field reading glasses focused between 12-18" for heavy duty reading.
I hope you got them from some place with a 'we'll fix your script for 30 days' guarantee, I wound up exercising mine.
