Mine have a continuous focus in the lens, which means the prescription varies evenly from top to bottom.
I wear them training but not in the race. My problem is mostly astigmatism, which is largely negated by bright sunlight because the pupils narrow, providing better focus.
- more incentive to finish before sundown. heh.

I hate to ride with my progressive scan lenses. It's really a problem for group rides and races because the wheel your drafting seems to move around depending which correction on the lens you are looking through. It's less of a problem for Triathlon or TT.My sports glasses just have the distance prescription. Fortunately, I can read the computer by peaking under the glasses. If you have to choose, I'd choose seeing the road, as oppossed to seeing the computer.
All,
Finally had to break down and start wearing glasses. Ended up with bi-focals, and I'm having a tough time adjusting on the bike.
In the aero position, I can now read the computer now, but when I try and look up through the top of the glasses to see down the road, the blurry bottom half of the glasses gives me a case of vertigo.
Probably safer for me to ride without glasses for now.
I'm considering buying a set of glasses with just the long distance glass, and forget about trying to read the computer on the bike.....
