Adapting to my new progressive lenses (distance vision)

[GanChan]

I've worn progressive lenses for several years now, and the other day I got an upgraded prescription-- which of course requires a new adaption period. My near-to-intermediate vision was problematic yesterday, but it's already cleared up pretty nicely.But my distance vision still seems "soft" -- when driving, for example, street and highway signs are too fuzzy to read until I get closer to them that I'd prefer. I think my previous prescription was a little better in that regard.

Is there any "training" I can give my eyes to help my brain dial in the distance vision as it managed to do with the other visual fields? Maybe sit outdoors and focus on a distant sign for hours at a time? I'm willing to give this process another week or so, and then I may have to go back to the eye doctor....

That's pretty much the key right there.

It takes about a week.

When I first got mine I was constantly lifting my head up to bring things in closer. Still do that a little bit now but it did take around a week to adapt.
