    Varilux NEW Comfort vs Physio for high index 1.67 lenses

    I haven't offered any NEW Comfort lenses yet. Just looking for other's views on a comparison of high index NEW Comfort lenses to our top of line Physio. Literature on both seem to say they have wider vision fields with less distortion.

    I'm looking for a comparison on the field of vision specifically for high index lenses for customers with poorer vision. Also wondering what the comparison of the NEW Comfort Enhanced vs the Physio 360 would be.

    Can anybody relate customer's experiences for those that may have switched from Physio to the NEW Comfort or provide any insight into the lens comparison itself? Thanks.

    Purely anecdotal evidence: I've had several non-adapts in the past couple years from the Physio and Physio Short, including members of my office staff. The Comfort 2 and Comfort 2 short have a 100% adaptation rate in my office thus far. We have, in fact, switched entirely to Comfort 2 products for all of our Varilux dispenses (except in cases of Davis Vision, which inexplicably allows Comfort 2 but not the C2 Short).
    I'm Andrew Hamm and I approve this message.

    Could the non-adapts possibly be caused by the fact it is a 20 year old hard design simply rehashed with a digital generator and some slick marketing? Try the new Adaptar DS or Natural DS. I hear they are brand new on the market (circa 1990).
