    GT2 is a great lens but I wouldn't call it a replacement for the Auto. A great compliment as a traditionallly surfaced design.

    No, GT2 is not back-side progressive, it's a digital mold front-side lens. Maybe you're thinking of the GT2 3D?

    Depends on what the patient needs

    I have been using the GT2 as my lens of choice for a few years. I have found that the power changes more quickly than other prog in this category. Physio is comparable but the reading is lower- longer corridor.Anyone who does a lot of computer likes the GT2 better. On the other hand, I had to switch a pt back to her long corridor simply because the higher near zone caused discomfort walking around. I think you will find the original Autograph to also have a corridor length similar to the Physio- longer than GT2. The Autograph 2 can have a specified corridor length and allows you to customize the corridor.
