The correction is the same as previous lenses which were very high index GLASS lenses (with blue/purple AR). I asked to check the actual correction and it is ok. Do you think that the problems might be caused by the plastic material of the new lenses?
I think, but it is a conjecture, that the main problems are
1. the geometry. The new lenses are aspheric and there is often a huge reflex on one of the two sides. Reflexes on the previous lenses are much smaller.
2. the residual color. On the new lenses the reflexes are usually green but with some colors they are white. I think the blue/purple reflexes of the previous lenses were easier to tolerate.
