    I would stick to high cylinders as a good start.

    Wavefront

    Are you talking about the Izon lens, or is this something new?

    Wavefront is being used as a marketing tool by a few lens companies. What lens manufacturers are you thinking of for Wavefront technology.

    I think the true use of Wavefront is not adaptable to specticale lenses due to the eye movement across the lens surface, rather than an interoccular lens that moves with the eye, for example.

    Think of the lens being optimized for a specific location on the eye. Now the eye moves to the right or left and this specific optimization is not in the correct location.

    I would suggest a good backside digitally surfaced individualized lens as the best technology available for 90% of the prescriptions.
