I extensively tested them one right after the other, or wearing only each one for an extended amount of time. My findings are based purely on myself as a 48 year old low myope (-1.00) with add of 1.75. I found no difference whatsoever between physio 360, reveal freeform or accolade. The freeform was not "better" in any respect as far as I could tell. The Image and Concord were the same for distance as all the others but fell slightly short for near and intermediate. Overall I would say that if I had to keep one of these and discard the rest I would keep the Accolade. If I had to discard only one I would chuck the Image.
I am currently testing the reveal freeform on about 30 patients and will wait to hear their overall impressions. I also intend to test the autograph II on myself and on my patients. However, as of now I have not experienced the WOW factor on any particular progressive. I recognize that this may be me only and will differ for different prescriptions and ages.
