New eyeglasses screw up my night driving

I just got progressive lenses for the first time, and I had
one hell of a shock when I was driving home from out of town
late at night. There were two roads wherever I looked, each
one going off at about 10 degrees from the other! I had to keep
one eye shut to stay on the road.

I was aware that I had been having a little trouble with my
binocular vision since I got the new glasses, but this was
pretty disturbing. Any explanations?

Yes, glasses are a nuisance by definition.

life for a cause, battling against fate, during many years of
magnificent struggle, when the unending disappointment finally broke in
hopeless despair. His torch is still burning. There will come some other
battler, who is fit, and will hold it high until the people who are
sitting in darkness have seen its great light."
