[cnet_baby]

my patient change from AoPro to Vx Panamic, he complain that panamic is blur when reading, but AO Pro is good. the distance is very perfect

Rx:
R:-3.00
L:-3.25

Add+3.00

did anyone can give me any comment

[hardbox_happy]

this maybe AO PRO corridor is longer than the Panamic corridor, so maybe your patient use the intermediate to reading

Dear Cnet_baby

1. Panamic is good for the new wearer ?

2. Panamic is not recommended for the wearer who get used to harder design PALs.

3. Panamic is good for plus power , but for minus power it still can not proof any better than Varilux Comfort.

4. Do not use Panamic in the patient who have VA lower than 20/20 , because Panamic have very poor quality of vision.

5. The peripheral of Panamic is more blur at night.

6. From 1 to 5 , I get from my experience of fitting Panamic for more than 2,000 pairs by myself from 2000 to 2004 and I dare to say " I am the one who realy know about Panamic , even better than product manager of Essilor. "

7. Please , going for Varilux Comfort or Nikon Presio in this case.:D

I am so sorry to say the truth and hope one day Essilor will forgive me. Panamic is good PALs for 2000 , but not for today and Varilux Comfort still much better choice than Panamic in many case , even for the same price.

Because Add change from 2.50 to 3.00
When addition increase ... the visual field will narrow.

I agree with Freedom that , at ADD 3.00D need harder design.
