As you are ordering progressive lenses, better go to your doctor for measuring both the near PD the far PD, or at least let the doctor measure your far PD, as the lenses factory will normally reduce 3mm to be your near PD while making the lenses.
Progressive glasses are more complicated glasses, which need more time to adapt. If something goes wrong, you may never adapt to.
