Seiko 1.67 Super Proceed Internal

[Joann Raytar]

Is anyone using the Seiko 1.67 Super Proceed Internal progressive addition lens? Have you formed an opinion on its preformance and patient acceptance yet?

It just so happens I fit a pair yesterday to the practice manager. Going to be a few days till she has them but she's a registered Optiboarder (Lurker :o ) so I'll try to get her to do her own review! I'll let you know what she thinks if she doesn't.

We currently fit between 3-5 pair a week of the Internal. Excellent feedback from patients. One of my best friend's dad was our first Internal fit, nearly 2 years ago. He came to me after being fit in a Poly Panamic (by a clinic that does not use an Indepednet Lab, therefore they told him this was the very best lens available..::cough::cough::). He told me there was no way he was going to live the rest of his life 'like this.' He actually had called a number of surgeons to get a consultation on corrcetive procedures. I told him to hold off for a few weeks while we made the new Seiko Internal lenses. He loves them. I remember to this day, watching him turn his entire body from side to side trying to find the 'blur.' Intersetingly enough, he bought another pair that I have right here infront of me.

I am a firm believer in all the freeform technology lenses. Seiko, I believe, holds a great deal of the patients on the technology. THeir lens is a huge pain in the *** to order though. We call it the 42 simple steps to ordering the Seiko Super Proceed Internal... :) I guess in Japan they just make a two or three shapes to express the entire ordering procedure. :)
