    This is a common refrain. I think the Auto II is a better lens, and a lot less expensive.

    The other downside to the Ipseo is that Varilux uses it to test new Progressive technology before it works its way down to the other lenses in Varlilux's line. So the Ipseo you ordered last year may not match the Ipseo you order this week for the same patient. You will never know as they never tell you when the design has changed.

    The other downside is that you are paying a premium to work as a test subject. It costs the same to make an Ipseo as it does any digitally processed lens. In any other industry, you would be paid to be part of an experiment, not pay for the priveledge.

    I like new technology, but I want to know what design the lens is using, what its personality is, where its strong and where its weak. I would prefer that predictability and if it changes be notified (ie: Definity 2.0 and Auto 2.0). I don't like ambiguous technology.

    Yeah, join Optical Resources and order a Hoya Amplitude HiDef with Hivision. You'll do much, much better on the bottom line and still provide your patients with the latest free form designs. I do give Varilux high marks for inventing terms like Wave Front Management System and Point by Point Twinning. That all sound great and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Too bad you have to pay extra for creativity.

    Don't forget the "Global Design Management" for lenses like the Panamic!
