    what to get for my PAL

    I'll just make one pair; My RX is low but I want wider for intermediate than what I currently have which is regular PAL.

    I have been suggested to get Varilux Panamic. But I learned about Rodenstock Impression ILTxs here that it gives better for far vision. Is that really the case? I need more confirmation on this assuming that Rodenstock is available in US.

    Then there is Shamir Genesis which is like Variluz Panamic, right?

    okay

    My main concern is finding the right optician. If you find the right fitter that fitter will make sure you get the best result.

    Hi
    If your Optician don't use to sell ILT
    you should go for Varilux Panamic...

    Once again, FOR_LIFE is right on!!!! People are getting too worked up about brand name lenses and need to concentrate more on finding a knowledgable Optician to help them. As long as the optician knows what they're doing, more than 9 times out of 10 they will work!!!!!!
