Usually a relationship with three ends in disaster, this is the one exception to that rule and has answered my prayers.
My love for DEFINITY lenses is no secret- It's been going on since I first tried the product. The wider field of vision, useable periphery, and ground view advantage have made this lens my progressive of choice for the past 4 or 5 years. My plea's for an edition in Trivex fell on deaf ears at J&J's Spectacle Lens Group. I think they had all they could do to keep up with the demand for the product in CR-39, Poly, and 1.60.
My love for Transitions and Trivex is not a well kept secret either. You can research this by plugging these terms into our search engine and following along the conversation. Please pay particular attention to the "Trivex" wars between Pete Hanlin vs Billy Brock and me. :D:D
In any event, Essilor is now the source for Definity and in my opinion, have carried the product to new heights, releasing a 1.67 version, and a Trivex DEFINITY this past winter. This was an absolutely superior product to the others because of the clarity and weight, but still lacked the one ingredient to make it complete.
A little over a week ago Essilor released the DEFINITY in Trivex Transition in grey or brown. I got mine just before lunch today and I am here to say that this lens is the best product I have ever seen......or seen through!..... That is in my career........and that started officially on August 26th 1959 so I've seen one or two come down the pike. This lens is AWESOME SQUARED! You may recommend this product with complete confidence that the wearer will still thank you for it....even after writing the check.
Give it a try!
