    Ovations:
    - Pretty much the same as Panamic - of course Essilor will say it is different to keep Panamic price higher.
    - I find that the minimum fitting height to be 19mm to get large enough reading area. It is not just the add that increases as you go lower on a Progressive, but the width of the reading area increases also.
    - Has a maximum fitting Height about 24mm I think. The add decreases if you look lower than this.
    - Not much intermediate area compared to Natural.
    - Good overall lens.

    Natural:
    - Pretty much same as Comfort. Good standard lens with high success rate.
    - Minimum fitting height for success: 21mm - my opinion
    - larger intermediate area so better for people who need the intermediate vision.
    - More distance peripheral distortions than panamic
    - no maximum fitting height.
    -I havent heard people complain of a narrow reading area, but then the higher the add, the narrower the reading area in most progressives.

      .
      It's called "ground-view advantage". It's a good thing.
