    any chance the 'VS' could mean Vision Source (I know I'm stretchin' here)? I'm not a Vision Source network provider but I know they have at least one pal that is proprietary. I believe it is called TruClear or something. Maybe one of our VS providers would know. I have tried to get data on the lens but have gotten no response from Vision Source.

    Good luck :cheers:!!!

    Don't worry about this lens.
    I understand you ... when change the lens ... should be better than the old.

    In this case ... it can not indentified ... no have in the book.
    I think ... it OEM Pals. NO BRAND

    You can use which lens that have highest performance in client budget.
    If can use freeform Pals ... It should be not bad when compare to the old.

    Good Luck.

    In a free form lens digital backside grinding the lab is using a spherical semi finished blank ( a lens with no markingings. The engravings are put on after lens is completly finished, these labs have the ability to put antthing on the lens you want. I have my on engravings put on and no one will be able to identify what lens. This is a nice way of trying to keep your customers.

    Yes, the TruClear and TruClear HD have "VS" engravings. The reason you can't get information from Vision Source is that the info is only available to member doctors. VS doesn't market its "exclusive" products outside its own network, to the best of my understanding.

    If you want a substantially similar (although not identical) lens to the TruClear, I suggest the Accolade; to the TruClear HD, I suggest the Accolade Freedom.
