When was the last time you received an eyeglass prescription? I ask
because you say that the distance portion is not good. That's an
indication that your prescription isn't current or the lenses may be
wrong. Usually the distance portion is the fool-proof part of seeing
with progressives or bifocals. My prescription changed in seven
months. Before I ordered my last set of progressives I got a new
prescription. Huge difference in ability to see. I would recommend a
new eye exam if you haven't had one in the past 6 months.

Don't know about bifocals but I've gotten 3 sets of progressives from
Zenni in the past 18 months, my wife has gotten a set. We love them.
They weren't my first set of progressives but they were for my wife.
One way to ease adaptation to bifocals is to get taller lenses. Get a
frame style with a good sized lens height, i.e. more than 34mm.
Rimless frames are a good way to achieve this since you can pick the
lens size and rimless frames are almost invisible. I'd be curious to
know the lens height of the bifocals that are not working for you.
What is the lens height?
