Robert, ordered another pair just to make sure I didn't receive a bad lens, but I have the same problem. DVA has improved... but only very slightly. Still get headaches. My friend/partner/boss ordered a pair, he's a hyperope, and I did NOT tell him what my impressions were. He had the exact same experience except his reading was even worse than mine, he couldnt read J5 at all.
Either Essilor has a quality control issue, or a design issue.
Overall, in both myope and hyperopes there is a clarity issue in the 4S for the fine print, and a slight loss of DVA, with all 4 of the pairs we have tried. I experience eyestrain and headaches, the first of any lens for me. And I am now at about 51 progressives worn (I think, I haven't counted in a while).
I threw my DRx's on for fun, they are better than the 4S for DVA but I still get a slight amount of verticle unwanted cyl in those as well. Still not as clear as other brands or lenses. Less eyestrain though than the 4S.
