VSP progressive, Your opinion of it?

**Happylady** · 04-14-2011, 02:19 PM

A woman I know just got her first progressive at a local private doctor's office and they fit her with the VSP progressive. I can't remember it's name at the moment.

My friend's rx is pretty simple; about a -1.50/-1.25 at the distance with a +1.75 add.

She is complaining about the periphery being blurry, she really notices it. She also is complaining that she feels like she has to dip her head just a little at distance or it's not clear.

I've never used this lens but I've worn many progressives and I know some are noticeably more blurry in the peripheral then others. I know that I've had a couple that I felt I had to dip my head even though they weren't measured too high.

I told her to got back to the office and make sure they are fit correctly of course. But I also wonder what people's opinion of the VSP progressive is. (What's it name, again?) Is it a decent progressive or not?

It's the Reveal. Anybody have any opinions on it?

Don't know about the Reveal, but I got a new pair of Espira lenses and they're pretty ordinary for a progressive, pretty terrible for a digital lens. The temporal periphery is not clear and the areas around the seg are nowhere near as clean as my ID LIfestyles.

is it the reg reveal or reveal FF? I would use the summit over the reveal and the summit IQ over the reveal FF....we tried the reveal briefly when VSP was doing the kick back but that was a short endeavor....we would rather dispense a superior product than get a couple of extra bucks

I'v had luck w/ the Reveal, now their pushing Unity FF havn't tryed it yet but we may. As listenclose said "we would rather dispense a superior product than get a couple of extra bucks".

I think it was the freeform, but I'm not sure. She was charged about $500 for it with the AR. She told them she wanted a quality AR but is not happy with it. It is already getting dirty fast. She has gotten used to the progressive but is still noticing the blurry side areas.

................and then we all wonder why people are switching to the on line optical's that sell the same for 39.00 bucks.................:bbg:

We are using the Reveal FF, Reveal VI and the Individual and have not had any complaints. I get a lot of "WOW Thats Amazing!"

Can you tell me if Crizal can be used on the Reveal?

Here's an old thread on the Reveal: http://www.optiboard.com/forums/showthread.php/34480-quot-Reveal-quot-lens-from-VSP-Zeiss

And I'm going to feel pretty safe saying that you probably can't put Crizal on a Zeiss lens..... Well, you might actually be able to, but I bet it's not "approved" for it.

I don't believe they will put Crizal on the Reveal, however, They will put Teflon CC which is price comparable to Alize and I am wearing Purecoat which is comparable to Avance and I love it!
