Anyone used these lens, if so what do you think of them.

I've never worn or dispensed it, but when it came out about seven years ago I
wasn't impressed with the design. I presently use the Shamir Piccolo, Rodenstock
XS, and Essilor Eclipse for short corridor fittings.  As with all complex lens
designs accurate lens positioning is prerequisite for proper function.

Hope this helps

I've got a set of AO Easy, which is also a short-corridor lens, and they
are pretty good, actually. I find the short-corridor transition a bit
abrupt, but in terms of overall vision they work well.
