The first and only progressive lenses I have worn -- for several years -- have been Varilux Comfort. When I got my last prescription filled, the optician said that he wanted to shift me to Johnson & Johnson Definity but it was not (yet) available in my prescription.
More recently, I've read here about Varilux Ipseo. Varilux Panamic also have been recommended to me in preference to the Comfort lenses.
I have no complaints about the Comfort lenses, but would be willing to switch for better vision.
My new prescription is:
OD -7.25 = -1.00 x 180
OS -7.75 = -2.00 x 160
add +2.25
The optometrist says my prescription should remain stable for the next 5-10 years.
Before my eye examination (earlier today), I was offered the following choices (subject to my actual prescription and based upon my prior prescription which is only slightly weaker than the new one):
Varilux Ipseo 1.67; Crizal Alize $517.50
Varilux Panamic 1.67; Crizal Alize $418.50
Varilux Comfort 1.67; Crizal Alize $402.00
J&J Definity; Crizal Alize $370.00
Any advice on how to choose among these options would be appreciated.
Also, I've been frames sized 42/24.
Any advice (or questions I should ask the optician) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
