    Definity 3 and Definity 3 Plus

    Has anybody tried these yet?

    From what I gather on their website there is a lot less distortion (but what progressive doesn't say that). It also has wider intermediate and a fourth zone?

    My notes from the original JJ design says long corridor, soft, moderate distance off-axis blur, power rate in corridor seemed more linear than others.

    All progressive lenses have some distortion (represented by the shaded areas in the diagram above), but with DEFINITY, the amount of distortion is dramatically less. - See more at: http://definitycommunity.com/view/fa....AMoiqzpJ.dpuf
    The patent paper I read attributed the unwanted astigmatism advantage of the split design to about 7%. Of course, one can say it's much more than that compared to a PAL that has higher levels of unwanted astigmatism, but it's not due to the split design, it's due to good lens design, and a long corridor with soft boundaries.

    From my experience, it's a good design for hyperopes, and maybe emerging presbyopes.

    Hope this helps,
