I've said to the Dr. that my main concern was to focus accurately my camera, than he has decided put a lens for medium distance, I know I need glasses for read (short distances) but I can focus perfectly! The Dr. has said me that he was not recommend me a progressive lens, it is not the correct lens for accurate focusing.
