If this is your first time to choose multifocal eyeglasses, which one do you choose, bifocal or progressives? Actually, these two kinds are both used by people who suffered only from distance and near vision, I am inclined to progressive ones if this is your first time to wear such eyeglasses, as they lens give you the intermediate distance also that a bifocal can't do, progressive glasses usually take a good 2 weeks to feel OK, but 94% of those who have them wouldn't switch, and most progressives will blur out at some point on the outer edges of the lens in the distance portion, however the brain gets used to that and it doesn't bother most people for long, the intermediate portion of the lens it is more like normal vision!
