Probably the favorite one of your eye guy.  What he/she would wear
personally if they were in your shoes.

I just got a new pair of hoya cd in trivex.  Very nice, but depending on
your Rx, might not even be available to you.

w.stacy, o.d.

When buying progressives there are 3 things to consider in the product:

- Brand (Varilux, Hoya, Rodenstock, Zeiss, Sola, Younger, etc)

- Model (Panamic, Comfort, Liberty, etc) all 3 of these are Varilux

- Lens Material (1.50 regular plastic, Trivex 1.53, Spectralite 1.54.
polycarb 1.59, 1.60 plastic, 1.66/1.67 plastic, 1.71 plastic, etc). Note
that Trivex is sold as Hoya Phoenix or Younger Image brand name materials.
Not all materials are available in all models, and some are proprietary to
particular brands (for example, Spectralite is available for Sola/AO branded
products).

With progressives, fitting is extremely important, so make sure you purchase
from qualified opticians, and make sure there is a 100% money back guarantee
if you are not completely satisfied.

For best advice from this forum, post your exact prescription, and your past
experience with progressives (if any), and you lifestyle considerations
(age, computer use, etc).

Regardless of your situation, I not would recommend that you not get
polycarbonate lens material. If you need safety lenses, then get Trivex
(Hoya Phoenix or Younger Image).
