ADAPTATION GUIDE
Settling into your progressives.
Most wearers adapt to a modern progressive within a few days. Here's what to expect — and when to check back with your optician.
Days 1–3
Wear them full-time. Some softness at the very edges is normal as your eyes learn the corridor. Point your nose at what you want to see.
Days 4–7
Zone-switching starts to feel automatic. Reading, screens and distance should each fall into place with a small tilt of the head.
Week 2 and beyond
The lens should feel invisible. If you're still hunting for clear vision, a small fitting adjustment usually resolves it.
When to return
Persistent swim, headaches or a zone you can never find are worth a quick optician visit — the measurements may need a tweak.
