I have a bit of advertising from Perle Vision touting EasyView lenses. The
blurb goes on to say "Progressive lenses can be a workout for your eyes."
(No sh.t! I'd never have guessed.) Anyway, goes on with self-praise, saying
the eyes focus more naturally. Nice to know after I just bought a pair of
what I assume is the old kind.

Anyway, is EasyVision really an improvement or just hype?

Sorry. Rishi Giovanni Gatti (Zetsu), Lena102938, and Otis Brown are
trolls who haunt s.m.v.

Rishi has published, and is trying to sell worthless books.

Otis is pathologically dishonest and actually hurts people.
Following his advice can induce double vision in those
not working closely with an eye doctor. He knows just enough
about vision and eyesight to render him quite dangerous.

Lena102938 uses anti-eye doctor rhetoric as a substitute for ANY
actual information. It seems she now has to wear glasses and has
developed a pathological (and ILLOGICAL) resentment toward the
industry that "foisted these glasses upon her."

You'd do well to ignore them and wait for responses from the
caring, compassionate eye doctors who DO also participate in this site.

It depends on which brand of lens they're using (EasyViewTM is probably a house
brand name). "Digital surfacing" implies direct-to-surface free-form
manufacturing. That doesn't guarantee that these lenses will perform better than
traditional lenses, although this technology is capable of reducing aberrations
that are impossible to reduce using standard generators.

Hope this helps,
