Essilor recently launched a new PAL, the Comfort Max.
Our Essilor rep told me that this is an upgraded version of the Comfort DS, with wider intermediate zones and smoother transitions between powers. What I've found so far is that young/new progressive wearers have no issues adapting to this lens, but that long time PAL wearers (including those who wore the Comfort DS) are having a horrible time with swim in this design. I've had myopes and hyperopes struggle with this lens.
I'm also finding that some patients need the optical center moved below their pupil. What they're describing almost sounds like someone with a bifocal that's placed too high...
At this point working with this lens feels like a wild card- I know what it's supposed to be like, but the experience of wearers is inconsistent. I am not yet a presbyope so can't try for myself.

Does anyone have opinions/thoughts/info on this lens?

Thanks!
