I have both Transitions and non Transitions lenses and I certainly can’t tell any difference. I always would say that some people feel their eyes are more comfortable but others noticed no difference.

I believe they are all variable corridors. The DRX versions are fixed. One thing to remember with Varilux lenses is to always (almost) fit pupil center. I find this particularly true with the X.
I can’t figure out why an anti bacterial anti reflective is needed at all. What a dumb idea!
Thanks! I went to look at it and it was gone.
I read on a Facebook group that it was an Essilor Aculade.
I have worn and still wear mainly mono vision contact lenses and I wear a progressive sunglass over them with no issues at all. I would at least try rather than dealing with the hassle of switching...
The Ellipse was created when really narrow lenses and frames were popular. It's made for when your fitting height is 18 or less.I had a pair and I thought they were probably the worst progressive I...
I’m wondering also. Something must have happened. :unsure:
I used to work with an optician that always dropped the fitting height in sunglasses. Why? I can do everything perfectly well including driving in my clear progressives so why lower the fitting...
I don't ask people if they want AR, I assume they will get it. If someone asks if they need it, I tell them I highly recommend it and it will help them see better and look better. My AR rate is about...
I told a woman the other day I liked her glasses and she told me they were Warby Parker. She got them at a store, not on-line. They did look great on her.
So I thought I heard that Warby Parker...
I live near Dallas, I don’t believe it was here. I was told it was a factory in China and it’s effecting Essilor, Hoya and Zeiss. Shamir is not effected.
I can wear any progressive from Image and Navigatior to Physio and Varilux X. I have pair in Ideal. It’s my least favorite progressive. So don’t feel you need to keep them in something similar.
Most ARs are fine when new. What I notice about Costco AR is that it becomes hard to clean after 6 months or so. All AR degraded but I find the better Crizals stay easier to clean and stay clean...
I wasn't trying to attack you and I'm sorry if it seemed that way.
There is a long thread on Facebook about what progressive Costco sells. It seems no one including Costco opticians know...
Quince-do you wear progressives? I hated the lower fitting heights in my sunglasses, I had to lift my head slightly to read comfortably. I rarely drop for suns. I figure it like this- if a person is...
I would rather see people buy glasses at Costco than on line. They have a more limited selection but since they can buy stuff so much cheaper than we can and have cheaper overhead their prices are...
I don’t and it doesn’t seem to be a problem but I understand some opticians do. What about sunglasses? I also rarely lower fitting heights in sunglasses. I tried a lower height in a pair of suns for...
I have a pair of the Sunsync Plus. I love how fast they lighten but they don’t seem to get as dark as transitions 7 when it’s hot.
Interesting about letting the XTRActive darken outside first is interesting. I’ve never compared- will have to try. I’ve ordered my free kit but I’m not sure if it actually contains lens samples.
...
Thanks for weighing in, Pete. How do they do in a car? Do they darken and what does the mirror look like in a car?I have some Xtractive lenses and they get reasonably dark in my car.
Also, how...
I just got a pair of Unity Via Elite progressive lenses last week. My first reaction when I put them on was they were swimmier than my Varilux X lenses. But within a few hours they were fine though...
So the new colors and flash mirrors have made it here! From what I understand the XTRActive with flash mirrors are bein positioned more as a second pair. I imagine that without AR on the front and...
Hmmm, better stick to a penlight. :rolleyes:
The Workspace lense is completely different- it's not designed to be worn all the time or for distance. With rare exceptions fit pupil center with progressives. I use a penlight and use the corneal...
