    About to enter the realm of the PAL.....

    Anyone out there with first hand experience with the real-world differences between the Auto III and the Varilux X?
    RX is (average between OD/OS) +1.25-4.75X170 ADD probably will be +1.50

    Thanks for your input, starting to feel old asking PAL related questions for myself.....

    Why not try both? We have one optician here who is farsighted and she loves the Autograph 3. I personally have not tried it.

    If you have access to Varilux, do you also have access to Nikon? Their Seemax progressives are rather impressive for high-cyl cases (according to the lab, they are double aspheric, so maybe that's why). I myself currently wear only the entry-level Nikon design, and have had no problems with them

    My averaged Rx is -5.00 BE (some cyl), Add 1.50 on a short corridor, have tried Zeiss/Sola/Hoya/Essilor/generics and so far the Nikon beats them all.

    Otherwise, I've personally never tried the Autograph series, and have always had good experiences with the Varilux range, so I'd be inclined to the Varilux X.
