I've had progressive transition for about 20 years and had no problems. 
I also have lined polarized bifocal dark glasses for driving. (the 
"transitions" don't darken inside the UV coated windows of the car and 
truck)

No problems switching between the two.

Providers want to keep you happy. Recently, I got a new prescription 
(after my detached retina/surgery, etc.) but the grind didn't feel 
right.(progressives can make you feel like you have tunnel vision)
They redid the entire thing with new lenses/different material.

Happy camper now...  ;-}

YMMV
