I have my re-make pair of Physio 360s which I picked up yesterday. The optician told me that Varilux would re-make them with the thin lenses like in my Comforts. They are not any thinner than they were when the optician sent them back. My Comforts are the high index and are approx 1/16" thick. I also purchased the high index Physio 360s and I expected them to be of similar thickness. Instead, they are about 1-1/2 times the thickness of the Comforts. The "vision center" told me they couldn't be made any thinner because of the drill mount. But my Comforts have the same type drill mount. I really don't understand what's the problem is, and whether it's Varilux or the local "vision center".
They feel heavier and I feel my vision isn't any sharper than the old prescription. Both are for mild hyperopia with 2.25 add in Comforts and 2.50 add in Physios...very little astigmatism. Prescriptions were dispensed two years apart. I'm thinking of going back to the eye care center that dispensed the Comforts and paying for a new exam and PALs, but wanted to learn more before taking this somewhat drastic step.
Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
