My love for progressive lens goes sour

I keep reading this topic as “Progressive lens detachment”, which just sounds awful.

Anyway, I don’t have progressives, but the ability of my ideas to adapt focus has dropped off a lot in the past couple of years (basically once I hit 40). So now I have to take my glasses off if anything gets too close (my wife is fond of shoving a cell phone about 10 inches from my face - look at this!).
