I do well with progressive eyeglasses - but I just cannot adjust to the progressive contacts.
Yes, they can be tricky to adjust to. Did you know that they work quite differently from progressive eyeglasses?
We all know that in progressive eyeglasses, the lower part of the glasses are corrected for near and the upper part for far vision, and we tilt our heads to see through the appropriate correction zone. Progressive contacts, OTOH, have the correction zones arranged concentrically around the center. You have two images on your retina, and your brain filters out the fuzzy one, helped by the fact that you pupils contract slightly when you look at something close up (the near correction is at the center of the contacts).
Is the datamask display inside the glass? If so, you could get some contacts that give you good near vision and put some prescription glass into your mask for far vision outside the mask
