    Seiko is my go-to lens. I don't use the Succeed or Supercede any longer. My favorite lens is the Surmount. I get a lot of "WOW" from my patients and it is especially good with hyperopes because it is the thinnest lens available no matter what material it is compared to i.e. Plastic to plastic it's thinner etc. Virtually no peripheral distortion to the side and wider intermediate and near. Really can't be beat. I, however, wear and do fit the Seiko Supernal. It is also an excellent lens. I have worn both and can't tell hardly any difference between them and the Supernal is a little cheaper. Of course, the new Seiko Superior is supposed to be a fantastic lens. Haven't tried it yet.

    I don't have the number to their German office, but I too love Seiko lenses. I agree, the Surmount is a FANTASTIC lens especially for the hyperope. It is in one of two pairs that bounce between the most. I have never had a non adapt to a Seiko lens.

    I too prefer using the Surmount for my hyperopes, especially the W & S; the harder design works much better. Try www.seiko-optical.com

    Never a bad word on here about Seiko. Just wish Hoya would bring them to Australia but I guess they're worried about eating into the Hoya lines if they do.

    In the UK we had no end of problems with coatings, but I'm sure that's all sorted. Havent had a Seiko lens across my desk in three years.
