Hi

Ive had two patients, both ex Zeiss Superb wearers non-tol to our labs 'inhouse' varifocal. The rep was very sure that the inhouse lens 'was just as good', if not better than the Zeiss Superb.

Wrong!

Patient 1 rx +1.75/-0.50 +1.50/-0.25 +2.25 ADD
Patient 2 rx -0.75 +0.75 +1.50 ADD

Now I know I could(should?) just stick them back into the Zeiss Superbs and be done with it but Id like to know if there are lenses out there that will really give them the 'WOW' factor for similar pricepoint?

Reading a few threads here it seems like there are two frontrunners with decent reviews

1) Shamir Autograph 3
2) Seiko Superior/Surmount

How do these compare to the Superbs cost-wise and optics-wise?
Or am I comparing apples to pears?
Is there a decent, cheaper alternative to the Superbs?

Thanks
