Progressive bifocals are inherently compromised optically. If you want best vision near and far, use plain bifocals. If that leaves you with a middle range that isn't corrected properly, use trifocals. But progressives are by nature am imprecise smear between too much correction and too little, for whatever you happen to be looking at.
