A method makes a customized progressive ophthalmic lens intended for an identified wearer that includes measurements of the inclination of the wearers head. These measures are made when the wearer performs visual tasks in far-vision conditions, by consecutively looking horizontally, then towards the ground. A variation of the optical power of the progressive lens, below a reference direction for the far vision, is adjusted on the basis of the measure results. The habituation period of the wearer to the progressive lens can thus be reduced.
