    Question ovation/natural vs panamec/comfort

    Can someone explain the real difference between these essilor products, or are the ovation and natural just as good

    The essilor brand didn't get the extensive marketing to confuse people into believing that they are the "end-all, be-all" to the optical industry. The varilux brand spent all their money buying the loyalty of "doctors" and chose to only allow strategic labs to sell their product as long as the lab said varilux was best. They didn't have to believe it, they just had to sell their souls and lie on a daily basis, several times per day. Thus, the difference is: varilux is more expensive than essilor.
    Other differences: comfort is old- natural is less old, panamic is difficult to wear and fit (admitted to me personally with witnesses by one of their top technicians)- the ovation is easy to wear and fit, the comfort and panamic must be purchased through "them" in one way or another, the natural/ovation can be purchased from "them" and you can surface them for much less $$.
    Just forget the comparison and buy the Younger Image- you'll be doing yourself and your customers a favor.
