    Quick question about Varilux lenses

    Hey guys. I just now got back into selling Varilux and I just want to know some basic things (instead of drudging through the advertisement junk.)

    The W3, the W2, the X. Are they variable corridor? do we select the corridors? are they all 4 drop? does anybody have a link to an updated prog identifier book?

    They are all 4 drop. I might be wrong, but I think the W3+ and the X are variable corridors and the W2+ is fixed, but I can't swear to it.
    I'm Andrew Hamm and I approve this message.

    Yeah I believe they are all 4 drop and I believe the W3+ and X are variable corridor. You don't select the corridor, I think they have different lens profiles for emmetrope vs hyperope vs myope.

    I believe they are all variable corridors. The DRX versions are fixed. One thing to remember with Varilux lenses is to always (almost) fit pupil center. I find this particularly true with the X.
