    Wave Question on Progressive Lens

    I'm looking for information not related to marketing materials published by lens companies, on the performance of individual progressive lenses. I would like to provide our team with tools related to the best lens for the prescription. For ex: a short corridor progressive may present unique problems to a tall hyperope with more than a +1.75 add ... from that premise, will the Elipse lens by Essilor actually make a difference to this type of wearer?

    This type of thing might seem second nature to most, but I find we get stuck in a rut using the same lenses over and over, because it is easy to use what we know. I'd love to see a list of progs others are using, and why.

    Is there such an animal? A list of all progressives, their design features and benefits - their specific target RX, etc. Are all lens companies still designing for Plano wearers with a +1.00 - +2.00 add?

    Thanks for your help.

    Two recomendations, One, find a copy of the Dr. Sheedy report that came out last year. If you have trouble, Email me direct, I may still may have a copy in a computer. Two, If you stick to the latest generation of PAL's you will do very well. In my narrow view of the optical world, The top PAL lenses are, Varilux, Shamir and Zeiss. It is very rare to find one supplier that has all three.
