Randi,

I also have progressive bifocals and love them!! I'm far sighted (can't see $hit close up) and I never had a problem getting used to them. I also think it depends on the strength of the bifocal. Believe me, I am BLIND when it comes to seeing things close up, so for me not to have problem with them, you probably won't either. Just be careful going downstairs, both of your bifocals AND cats!!!!! Especially hairless ones!
