Changed from Varilux Comfort to Essilor Ovation -- now I know what "Swim" is ...
My last pair of glasses (first with PALs) had Varilux Comfort lenses and my new pair have Essilor Ovation lenses -- now I understand what people are talking about when they discuss "swim".
It's been two days and I'll give it a couple more to see if I adjust to it, but I don't remember this at all when I first received the Comfort lenses.
Before I return to discuss this with my ECP, I'm curious if this swim effect is due more to the design/construction of the lens itself or a possible fitting issue.
Varilux Comfort vs Essilor Ovation
1. Varilux Comfort vs Essilor Ovation are difference like Mercedez Benz C class compare with Toyota Colora.
2. The technology of Varilux Comfort is more than 10 years advance than Essilor Ovation.
3. Varilux Comfort is the best seller PALs in the world ( sold more than 120 millions pair in 2000 ) , and Varilux Comfort is still the world choice of PALs in it class.
4. No any PALs can compare performance with Varilux Comfort in each US$.
5. Forget about Hoyalux ecp , because the performance much more lower than Varilux Comfort for far , intermediate , instant focus system , comfort of vision ( swimming effect ).
6. Your choice is at below ;
6.1 going back to Varilux Comfort or
6.2 going forward to Varilux Panamic and get overall performance 30% more at all point. ( Some performance need 3 weeks for full function )
7. Many PALs company claim that their PALs wider than Varilux Comfort like AO Compact , SOLA Percepta , Shamir Genesis , Shamir Piccolo. But I can say that , if wearers ever use Varilux Comfort more than 3 weeks. They will feel the same like you.
8. In the end , the wearer like you always know the truth. But for another wearer , they have to take their own risk in their money and waste their time.
" Life is too short to see the beautiful world with junk PALs "
