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. Varilux designs available in Essential Blue SeriesTM lenses block at least 20 of Harmful Blue Light, which is the blue-violet wavelengths found between 415-455nm on the light spectrum believed most toxic to retinal cells. 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. 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. 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. r/UKHealthcare: dedicated to healthcare in the UK.I got myself a pair of Varilux X lenses a couple of days ago and thought I should write a review of them. r/Nursing: Discuss the topics of concern to the nurses of reddit. 6 ADD Engraving Appears under the temporal microcircle and denotes the ADD power. 5 Material Identifier Appears to the right of the design identification and denotes the material. r/MedicalSchool: Medical students and physicians who wish to advise them. 4 Design Identifier An engraving located under the nasal microcircle that’s unique to each PAL design. r/Pharmacy: Pharmacists, pharmacy students, techs, and anyone else in the pharmaceutical industry! r/GlobalHealth: Discusses the discipline concerned with improving the health of the most number of people, irrespective of where those people live in the world. r/PBM: Pharmacy Benefits Management discussion (employees, patients, doctors, pharmacies, etc). r/Cancer: Related news, stories of survival, stories of loss and everything else associated with the disease. r/HealthIT: Health information technology, electronic health records, security and privacy issues, and related legislation. r/Healthcare: Links and discussion about health care: systems, costs, problems and proposed solutions. ![]() ONLY EYECARE PROFFESIONALS ARE ALLOWED TO POST OR COMMENT.
