I'm interested in reading reviews of the various Horizons progressive lenses -- Mimesys, MaxView, DriveGT, etc. They're sold at a premium price, and I'm not very familiar with them. Does anyone use them, and, if so, have they been working out well?

I posted here with the same question (https://www.optiboard.com/forums/for...h-their-lenses). Nobody here seemed to have any experience. Lens voucher for the MaxView is pending, I'll post here about it when I get that pair in. -
I have zero experience with this brand, but having looked at your previous post, some thoughts:
- The binocular balance feature sounds good, but bear in mind equal *amounts* of unwanted cyl on both sides of the corridor, is different than different *axis* of unwanted cyl on both sides of the corridor. IIRC this is one of the design features in Varilux Physio, to match the axes of the cyl on both sides of the corridor. Something about keeping the unwanted cyl axis close to vertical on both sides, so nasal and temporal gaze feel more similar.
- Gaze tracking and progressives, not as new as many think, goes as far back as Varilux Ipseo I think, and still used for the Varilux X Track.
- As for same corridor width in all addition powers, perhaps they mean same *perceived* corridor width. Kneecapping of lower adds as you've noted, maybe... though it does make sense to use s softer design for low Add wearers to adapt faster with their first time despite the narrowing of the clear zones, and gradual hardening of the design as the Add (and distortion) increases to compensate for those. An approach that IIRC dates back quite a while also, notably Varilux Comfort (?).
So, being frank, doesn't sound like it does anything others haven't already attempted, so if it's priced at a premium, one would expect it to perform at least on par with the Big 3 (Essilor, Hoya, Zeiss) to be worthwhile.Comment
