Do Hoya Lifestyle ID lenses in Phoenix (Trivex) still offer the best optical quality?

I've been very happy with my Hoya Lifestyle ID progressive lenses; they have noticeably less color fringing than the other lenses I tried when I got them. However, my prescription has changed, so I'd like to just get the lenses replaced. My local Costco offers terrific prices on Essilor Ovation lenses and can have them fitted to my existing frames, but those only come in polycarb, don't they?

Has progressive lens technology progressed since 2008, when I got my Hoyas, or will I still do best with them?

Before you go, why would you want a really old design when you've been wearing one of the most advanced designs?

So the Hoya is still one of the most advanced designs?
