    KBCo Xplore Lens

    I have a patient who likes their KBCo Xplore Progressive (polarized) much better than other progressives she has tried. Any suggestions for a similar lens that I can get in Transitions plastic?

    Auto III Sport

    Or any other "Sport" type lens, one that is relatively hard and values peripheral vision over all else.

    IOT has a Sport Progressive that is supposed to be optimized for peripheral. I have not tried it out to this point, but it certainly seems like it would be similar to Auto III Sport.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but Auto III is a state-of-the-art, spendy lens and the KBCo Xplore is dinosaur technology...any other suggestions?

    Array Wrap? Still probably a little more spendy, but maybe not quite as much as the other two.

    Younger Image comes to mind. Old School, just like the Xplore, and quite price friendly. Not really my choice, but it does have a good history of adaptation.
