    If you dont want to spend big bucks.............sell something else. Costco only sells only one kind and they seem to do pretty good.

    Ipseo

    :cheers: It cost big bucks, and I thought about it for a while and about a week ago we started selling Ipseo lenses. Too my amazement we have sold 15 pair…I would have never thought in this very conservative city I would do so well…I hope we keep on doing well with them…then the machine will pay for itself. J

    I have such a hard time finding frame that I am givign up on Panamic or Comfort. Can you tell me the fitting height requirement for Ipseo and Ellipse. I have low RX. In fact, I am even thinking of giving up on progressive lens if necessary.

    The minimum fitting heights for the Piccolo is 16, the Ellipse is 14, and the Ipseo is up to you ;) The Ipseo is one of the Custom made progressive lenses out there. Measurments are taken using the "Vision Imprint System" to get an idea of how you use your eyes. This data is then combined with your script, frame data, etc to create a design made especially for you using free form technology.
    The down side is $$$. Others in this same category are the Shamir Autograph, and the Zeiss Individual..

    Here is the official announcement on the Ipseo.

    Are you selling the Ipeso to previous progressive patients? If so did they feel that their reading area was quite a bit wider?

    The Ipseo's main benefit is that it there are 30,000 different designs and the VPS measures the head versus eye covariance, so the lens that the user gets is based on those moves. Therefore, you cannot compare one user to another or the width of the reading, distance or intermediate area, because the lens design will be different for each person who wears it.

    I'll echo what For-life stated. The advantage the Ipseo give the wearer is a lens that is designed around their visual behaviour. A client who moves their head predominately when reading, tends not to see the benefit of a wide corridor as much as a client who scans the page with their eyes.

    VisionPrint System for Varilux Ipseo

    In Thailand , we have to buy VisionPrint System ( VPS ), and the price is not cheap.

    We are very happy in this case because only our group can have VPS. It helps us a lot to leave our competion in the PALs business behind us very far and far away.

    We are using VPS in every case of PALs , because we would like to know the ratio of the Eye/Head Movement to recommended the best PALs for each customer in the best value.

    We are very happy and getting successful with VPS and we are putting VPS in front of our store to show our highest technology.

    After we have VPS , we can sell Varilux Panamic Fusio 1.74 , Varilux Panamic Stylis 1.67 Transitions5 three times more easily.

    Thank goodness for VPS.

    Exclamation essilor ipseo progressive

    I have a case which i have prescribed the ipseo to him, before

    the ipseo he use monovision for reading and distance. After the ipseo he

    use the monovision more than the ipseo because the field of vision is

    bigger the ipseo. Therefore next time if anyone try to prescribe expensive

    progressive lens, pls make sure the PAL is really good for pt. I have learnt

    a big lesson on that.

    :hammer:

    Next time, try Rodenstock Impression ILT or Hoyalux iD for a happy ending.

    VPS is just a Gimmick. for make lens to hard design or semi-hard design or semi-soft design or soft design or advance soft design.

    To suitable to customer behavior. I think it FAKE.

    JUST for look good ... look new instrument and Beep Beep sound.
    IF you check 10 time ... you will receive 10 number of HE ratio.
    How to choose which number?

    BUT not include custom made by PD far and near seperat right and left eye.

    It performance not better than HOYA ID.
    SURE it not better than SEIKO,Zeiss,Shamir Autugraph and other free form PALs.

    IPSEO ... it a good lens if it price equal HOYA ID.
    IPSEO ... It born in FRANCE ... slow growth in many country BUT DIED in THAILAND.

    I Think As soon as ESSILOR will LANCH new IPSEO.

    Play around with the measurements and see if they work. If the measurements are not dead on it does not work; therefore, it is more than what you are just saying.

    I do not say ... It do not work. It work But souldnot to invest for it.
    It very simple machine NOT have intel inside HA HA HA.
    Not have CPU ... NOT have soud card ... NOT have high technology.
    It very very simple BUT very very EXPENSIVE ... NO LOGIC

    I say ... It just Gimmick ... just new instument.

    If have it in hand ... you will know customer looking behavior.
    But ... If you need to known this behavior ... you can use simple way

    you used left hand with your finger and right hand with pen.
    you sit in front of your customer ... your customer look at your eye first.

    when you say ... finger ... your customer will see at your left eye.
    when you say ... pen .... your customer wii see at your right hand.
    you concentrate at customer behavior you will known ....

    It simple ... if you concentrate ... you will known ... which PALs design
    do you should to used for this customer.

    If more eye movement behavior ... you will should hard design or semi-hard design because need ponoramic vision.

    if more head movement behavior ... you will should semi-soft or soft or
    advance soft design because need Dynamic vision.

    Bobie, I really appreciate all the effort you use in putting up all those interesting data, but what are those?

    Ideal manufacturer design data?
    Typical manufacturer design data?
    Manufacturere measured data?
    Data measured by you/somebody else?
