Varilux Ipseo - Do not use this a lot, due to its price, but in my opinion when this lens is used properly it is the best lens in the business. The reactions I have had with this lens has been incredible. The only thing is this lens draws nuts. You tend to get some of the craziest people in your office with this lens. If you know that the person is not sane enough to go on the vision print system, then use something else.
Physio 360 - Not the best freeform lens on the market, but a very good one. The Wave Front technology has gotten some "wow's" with people talking about how clear their distance is. Also with part of the design on the back surface it really helps this lens. I use if I doubt someones ability to use the VPS with the Ipseo and or as a less expensive alternative.
Ovation - Great lens overall. Good distance, intermediate, and reading. Decent fitting height.
Ellipse - Gotten a few wow's from this lens. Great short corridor lens. In many cases people have seemed to prefer this lens over many lenses out there. Only problem is its escalating price and that it does not have transitions in CR-39.
Super-Noline - Great basic, inexpensive lens. Will not fit under 20mm though.
Other than I have been using the Essilor EPS Short and RX Short for inexpensive jobs. I think both are X-Cel lenses, but Essilor uses them and will Alize them too.
