I realize that everyone has they're favorite standard progressive lens, but these two seem to be at the top of everyone's lists. Come one, come all and share your experiences between these two GREAT lenses. Don't forget to say which is your favorite and why!?!
Zeiss Gradal Top vs. Varilux Panamic
This is from my notes when I compared these lenses a couple years ago(along with others) using the same frame and Rx at 22 high -4.50 dist add 2.00.
Top- initial comfort good, clear distance periphery, long corridor requiring chin lift to clear the text at the middle of page.
Panamic- Initial comfort good, blurred distance periphery, short and/or quick corridor requiring little if any chin lift for the middle of page.
Spexvet,
I had a similar experience with the Image. The initial comfort was poor and felt like the least refined of the bunch. Maybe I got a bad lens also. Maybe it works poorly with minus Rxs. Maybe there are better choices.
