What progressives are your favorites?

I love my Varilux Ellipse, as well! Never had any problems at all. Put them on and walked out of the store immediately. Very pleasantly surprised. When I was recently fitted with another short corridor lens (as a spare) made by Varilux's parent company, Essilor, I found that I did need to get used to them (but it was only minutes!) Perhaps its the shape of the frame, but I think I might have a wee bit more reading area with my Varilux Ellipse. They are metal frames vs. plastic for the Essilor. Both fairly narrow in size.

If I were to choose one lens from the two, I would go with the Varilux Ellipse.

My Favorites are anything Varilux. I just got my first pair of progressives and I LOVE my Varilux Physio 360's. Its like wearing S.V. lenses! Amazing.The Ellipse's are great for that trendy person with their small b frames.Not a patient yet has exchanged them. There is no discernable distortions in the perepheral in the 360's and I adapted right away.My rx is:
OD -4.75-0.75x180
OS -2.75-0.50x004
add+1.00

I've had patients try the Essilor progressives and just could not adapt to them but Varilux wearers success rates are in the high 90's.They're just a wonderful lens! Essilor lenses are based on the Varilux design. I'm going to try the Ellipse in my next pair of small frames. I actually told a coworker who cannot (in the past) adapt to a no-line that she should give the Physio 360 a try- she is a die-hard FT-35 wearer.

I highly recommend it. Going from a Comfort to the Ellipse was a very natural transition for me. And, as noted in a previous thread, I'm also fortunate to be able to "mix and match" different brands of progressive lenses without any problem. But, give me the Ellipse if I'm only allowed one! :)
