    Confused Progressive marking ID help!

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me what progressive lens this is. The marking is a small circle and below it a VS and then what looks like the pi symbol....

    It sounds like a Varilux, they have many models that have a pi symbol.

    The vertical lines on the symbol are straight. I looked at the Varilux lenses already... No luck.

    LBI Ce Tru???? Didn't see one with the VS on it, but they have a Pi sign on one of their lenses. I thought Varilux as well until your comment above.

    The small circle is common with various Varilux designs and the straight Pi symbol is an indicator Varilux uses for Hi-Index 1.67 lenses. I don't know what the VS would be but I think 24/7's guess would be my instinct as well.

    The Essilor lens will always have a stylized E as well. Did you also find the E? If not, Vision Source would be my first guess. It's been a number of years since I dispensed them, but the VS sounds right as my fading memory tells me.
