I'm on my 3rd pair of progressives in the last 2 months. The first pair were so bad my doctor shook her head when I asked her if the glasses were really that bad...or was it really that difficult to get used to progressives! I won't say where I got them.
I went to a different place and ended up getting a pair of progressives that made an incredible world of difference.
Problem. I got a pair with no frame on the bottom half. I had terrible glare with the lenses...while standing towards the sun, and it only happens when in the sun facing it. It's as if a couple of 'ribbon's' of sunrays curve down and catch my glasses. Pretty, were it not so annoying. :hammer:
So I went back and the manager was very nice and wondered if it might be the coating on the bottom of the glasses. She could send them back and have the polish removed.
But what happened was we ended up choosing an entiredly different pair of frames which completely surround the lenses.
Oh...these are the Panamic lenses, and I LOVE Panamic. Though, heh, I've never had any others. I have no distortion whatsoever on the sides.
Anyway, they are Panamic.
So the second pair of glasses arrived. Alas...I've been outside in the sun and yes, these lenses are doing it also.
I can only describe it as ribbons of light connecting from the sun to my lenses.
I bought what they called Crizal anti-reflective coating.
I also notice with my clipon sunglasses, I can see like half circles of some kind of reflection. My eyes perhaps? Not sure.
In your opinion. do you think it could be the Panamic lense itself? Or...do all progressives do this? Not a good enough coating? They are fine just standing outside as long as the sun is not facing me.
Guess I could walk away from the sun everywhere I go...or maybe backwards??? :bbg:
Thanks in advance,
