Progressive?
Not too sure how this would help. I did not get progressive when I encountered Presbyopia. Progressive seemed to cause distortion in the area outside of center. This area,as I am told, is valuable to sensing motion as in distant aircraft. You may sense motion first off center as it was explained, and distortion won't help.
Your individual situation should of course be attended to by your optometrist. I am not sure if your situation will be different because you may not have problems with your distant vision. Hope this helps.
