We both have progressive lenses. He tells me he recently got contacts which are working out beautifully. I was surprised because I didn't think it was possible to correct for near and far with contacts. Give your optometrist a call and see what he says. My guy does not have one of each type lens. That would drive me crazy. I tried diopter correcting my camera eyepiece and that works fine. But without my glasses I can't find the camera.
