    Essilor Ideal

    Has anyone used this lens much? I have a rep telling me how great it is, but for the price...suspicious.

    You would be the first person I've heard say they like it. It's, shall we say, lack of success, is the prime reason for Essilor's "investment" in Shamir.

    There are less expensive and better Free Form designs available.
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    Price point is good, especially with Transitions. On a good, better, and best scale we use this as the "good" option.
    Actually the Ideal Advanced to be exact. Something more personalized for the other options.
    No problems at all.

    I heard that this was the old Autograph design. You might check out GT2 3D and compare pricing.
