    Which one? I've tried the Individual and GT2 3D (-4.00 add +2.25). They have 'as good as it gets' on-axis vision, and very good off-axis distance vision. Because it's so clean above the 180 line, I'll use the GT2 3D for computer glasses, especially when there are double and triple 27" monitors.

    Zeiss Digital is a new lens by Zeiss:
    http://www.zeiss.com/vision-care/en_...al-lenses.html

    Like most of Zeiss' products it's not well marketed and I don't think it does a very good job of explaining itself. Like tx11 said it's marketed for emerging presbyopes but it almost looks like an Anti-Fatigue single vision to me.

    On a side note, is there a reason you use GT2 3D for computer glasses instead of an occupational design Robert?

    Definitely anti-fatigue.

    Zone width at the screen and power accuracy. Remember, the 'computer PALs" are really just 'office lenses', and are not optimally designed for radiologists, accountants, programers, folks who spend most of their day looking at large, widescreen, desktop monitor or multiple monitors. Segmented multifocals are ideal, but unless they've had some experience wearing them, present PAL wearers should continue with the same design in their tasks glasses.

    Office lenses might be best for those who are much more ambulatory, although I'll still use a general purpose PALs for most of these folks just because I have more control over the power and where it's placed. For example, instead of putting 60% on top, cut the power to 30% to 50% of the add, depending on their sensitivity to distance blur.

    The Zeiss Digital is a clever product, its anti fatigue in the lower powers but fills in for First Pal in a little higher adds.
