So I'll be waiting a while before changing mine up again. I'm a bit miffed as I had just re-ordered my newest lenses myself (S design) and they dropped the X roll out about 2 months later. And we've switched to Avancé pretty much exclusively over Sapphire now for our Essilor jobs.Ĭan you expand anymore on the 'new' 360 version any further? I've sent back more pairs than I can remember for bad quality control on reflex color alone (usually noticed by the patient). Essilor swears to me nothing has changed, but it just ain't what it once was. In addition to seeming to have lost a step in terms of clean-ability and scratch resistance. At work yesterday a patient commented that it looked like I didn’t have any lenses in my frame! I see a slight bluish reflection at times when looking at them, so I can see the lenses, but it’s great.Ī nice subjective impression HL, thank you! Can you expand on the Sapphire 360 a bit? I know the original Sapphire has had some noticeable issues over the years as both the color reflex changes rather dramatically (from it's original nice deep cobalt blue reflex to a much more noticeable (and to me very ugly) almost sky blue to blue green reflex. I also got the new Crizal Sapphire 360 AR and it’s excellent. My other progressives are very good but these are better. The differences are subtle but definitely there. I didn’t get a chance to try my other glasses at work yesterday because we were so busy. The channel isn’t extremely wide but it’s placed just right so it’s very comfortable. They work very well with a desktop monitor as long as the monitor is not too high. With the other pair I do need to slightly adjust my head up to see the top of the page. I do notice that with the new X lense allows me to see from the top of the page to the bottom without adjusting my head. The reading area is the width of a page in a hardback book which is very decent with a +2.50 add. The width of the channel and reading are are very close in both pairs, I can’t see any difference. The other lenses are decent but don’t have quite the clarity. 21 UK 2018 VARILUX® FITTING GUIDE Frame selection 1 Ensure minimum depth below pupil of 14mm for: l Varilux Xclusive 4D, X track 2, X design short l Varilux Physio 2. When I look through the temporal part of the distance in the glasses, the X is slightly clearer, almost as clear as straight ahead.

But is it better? So I decided to compare them side by side with my most recent digital progressive that is the same RX and similar size. With the Varilux® X series, embrace every inch of your world with sharper vision. It’s certainly as good as any progressive I have ever worn and I have worn many. My first impression of the Varilux X was positive.

I can easily wear most progressives, there have been just a few I found inferior. I am about a -.75 and a -.1.50 with around a diopter of astigmatism and a +2.50 add. I got myself a pair of Varilux X lenses a couple of days ago and thought I should write a review of them.
