Seiko progressive lenses

**CalCal** · 08-10-2011, 10:41 PM

I am thinking about switching my progressive lenses to Seiko Succeed. Supersede and Surmount. I currently used mostly comfort and gt2 and want to move to an affordable free form lens. I have a few concerns: 1) lenses thickness - is free form lenses thicker than traditional lenses 2) can I control base curve for high wrap frame 3) how does the seiko product fit?

Thanks for any advices and suggestions.

Good move! Moving up to a much better product that is very cost effective in comparison.

1. I find FF lenses to always be thinner than conventional PALS.
2. Base curve normally cannot be dictated on the order (not recommended but not impossible either)
3. Good product - the only downside I can mention is there is no fitting cross drop on the Succeed which I find rather odd - the wearer goes immediately into intermediate corridor (too fast in my opinion)

I have a Supercede WS and a Surmount. Love them both!

If you want to have base curve selection and have a very wide Rx range the look at the ICE-TECH line with Thin-ICE. 100% digital lens developed by ICE-TECH.

Flyboy, Ice Tech has been around here for a while and has received rave reviews from other OB members. Play nice.

Thank you CuriousCat for the post.

As for the Blah Blah Blah comment. How would anyone get a better product to market if people are not willing to realisticly listen to what is being offered.

No we are not the largest Lens Company, but we are a lens company and we have a tremendous amount of in house technology. Ask people who wear our lens if it is just another product.

I assume Eyemanflying is a pilot, would you consider a Cirrus airplane? This is a relatively new US airplane company, (founded in 1984), that makes a great product. Before someone knew about a company like this, one would assume they too are a NO NAME Airplane manufacturer.
