My First Progressive Lens

Picked up my new spectacles this evening. I have never paid so much for a pair of eye glasses ever. The Carl Zeiss lens already cost more than $800. I could have opted for the 'customized' $1200 ones but I was skeptical if they were worth the money. All the same I was worried that this first experiment with progressive lens might turn out to be a failure. What I have read online wasn't very encouraging.

So far the lenses are excellent for use with my Kindle and S3. Worthless for the PC display and consistent with my old spectacles for distant objects.

Update: July 7, 6:20am

Looks like the back of a box of Norton Internet Security! I chose not to pay $400 more for 'Individual 2'. I see uncertain or no extra benefit. It's not like I have shoot-bird eyes. I am talking nonsense. Would like to know more.
