Are they? I dunno!!!??? However, I have been fitting progressives for a long time and for the last 5-7 years, the Natural has been my lens of choice. I have worn the Panamic, the Comfort, the Natural, the VIP Gold and Image. By far, the Panamic has been the best.
Hi I am new here.
I have been wearing progressive (with ormex lens which was suggested by the optician after I chose the frame - a small frame) for 3-4 years.
After reading about Varilux Panamic recently - I haven't read up on other brand BTW - I became interested in Varilux Panamic.
(Q1)Assuming that I will find a frame that I like with fitting height 0f 18mm, which *lens material* I should use for Panamic for the following prescipriton?
Sph Cyl Axis Prism Add
R: +1.00 -0.75 150 - -
L: -0.25 -0.50 040 - +150
(Q2)A new frame I found and like has fitting height of 17mm and so I am thinking to just give up and Panamic in order to use this frame - I plan to do a computer pair regardless using the frame I have (fitting height of 15mm). If so, what types instead of Varilux Panamic would be good? I don't have to stick to Varilux brand. ANy good one is fine. And what lens material (CR 39 or Orma or higher index; see above prescription)?
(Q3)For the computer pair, I have a frame with fitting height of 15 mm. I have no clue what brand and type and lens mterial i should use. Someone suggested me Sola Access (probably polycrabonate htough she didn't sya it). From I have read, I think I should avoid polycarbonate. I'd like to know what to use.
I wonder whether I should be starting a new thread instead of responding here.
Varilux Panamic can fitting at 17 mm
Dear amanda,
1. Varilux Panamic can fitting at 17 mm and still have overall performance to read newspaper better or same like the most of short corridor PALs.
2. I recommended you to going for Varilux Panamic Orma Crizal Alize'
3. For Computer and read a lot , I recommended Essilor InterView 080. This lens is nearly not have any distortion.
4. For work station computer all day long , I recommend Essilor 130.
