I fit a lot of Reveal FF and Ziess Individuals with a majority of the patients saying "WOW!" However, the are expensive so I am looking into the digital 5.0. I hear its comparable to the individual and Autograph II.

Hi For-Life, I am really enjoying the "WOW" I am hearing/getting from patients with the Persona Lenses. I believe they are only available in Canada. River Optical in BC is where I get them. I don't work for them but here is their number. 250-954-0449 Truly great product Plus, this lab can do a lot of specialty work as well. Ask for Nicky and she can send you some information on the lenses. Tell her Michelle Klassen told you to call. :D!
Ok, good feedback but no trends. What if we limit the scope a little...
1) do you prefer one lens for presbyopic hyperopic patients and prefer a different lens for mpresbyopic myopic patients?
2) do you prefer one lens for computer users and another for other occupations?
3) what about short height lens?
Are there other senarios which might cause you to prefer one lens over another?
I use the Autograph II for all Rx types. I do prefer to use the Fixed 18 for hyperopes whenever I can use it, but Fixed 15 is usually my go-to.
I am not a big fan of any of the lenses marketed toward VDT use and neither are my doctors, so they actually have the patients measure their VDT working distance and calculate the Rx themselves, with great success. Then we use that Rx with the same PAL we use for their full Rx.
Good: Zeiss GT23D, Better: (if fit well, if the PD/vertex/panto/wrap #'s are off this lens is a no go) Individual
Good: Hoya ECP, Better: Hoya iD Lifestyle, Best: Hoya iD mystyle
All of the above in Trivex and Purecoat or EX3.
I wear iD Lifestyle, Individual very well, I got a VSP Reveal and could not use it. I hear that is some form of Shamir degisn?

I am also having great success with the new comfort! Essilor has made the excellent comfort design even better by making the full near available 1 mm sooner, widened the intermediate, and made the periphery even smoother! The cost is reasonable also. This works for the simpler rx's. For those patients with higher powers, more astigmatism, or sensitivity issues I use the comfort enhanced or physio enhanced! I also used the enhanced lenses for those who had previously been a non-adapt and turned them in to successful PAL wearers!
For those patients who spend most of their day on the computer, the essilor computer progressive is awesome!
Varilux Ellipse is a great lens for smaller frames. For the bigger retro frames everyone asks me for I like to use the Comfort or the Physio.
I was originally set on the Seiko Supercede. Their Surmount lens was top notch in my opinion. I've also lately tried the Ovation and have no complaints

use mostly essilor lenses, physio & comfort in high % among essilor lenses.
I always prefer Varilux Physio. It's really good one.
I've almost always used Essilor products since I started in this business (some 28 years ago).Had the opportunity to try Zeiss lenses...absolutely did not like them. Lens of choice...the Physio enhanced....can fit at 14 and it work! Also the Sapphire anti reflective is outstanding! particularly on drill mounts and rimless with polished edges.:)
