Strongly encourage you to visit a local optical shop to get the PD checked. LensCrafters will check it if you ask. PD of 73mm seems kinda high and PD must be pretty accurate for progressives. I usually get a reading PD 4mm less than my distance PD (64.5mm) for progressives. I recently found free-form progressives and will not go back to the older tech lenses. Free-forms give you much better adaptability and wider near and intermediate vision. The free-form lenses at coastalcontacts worked great for me. They are a little more expensive but I loved the feel right away. They feel more like single vision rather than progressives!
