progressive lenses were a big letdown for me as well. I don't have bad long vision but I got the expensive ones hoping that I could just wear them in all situations and that would be the end of it. It hasn't worked out that way for me at all and it was near $500 just wasted IMO. When you say night driving are you referring to how all lights have this sort of expanding star-like quality to them and it screws up your ability to be able to see anything incoming? I have that too.
