1.67???
Really, it is going to look awful. Go for 1.74, pay the extra and get
a huge improvement.

FWIW my price is $250.00 for 1.67 and $330.00 for 1.74 (Aus dollars)
and with your script there is no logical reason to go for 1.67.
Essilor 1.74 has the same aberration profile as 1.67 and you can get
that from Costco. Your script is a stock lens also, so don't let them
fool you into getting it ground. In high index, -3.00 to -10.00 is
stock as these are the people who need this lens.

Essilor is a French company that is one the largest (if not the largest)
lens manufacturers in the world. The also sell progressive lenses under the
Varilux brand, and the sell some lenses in the US under the Nikon Brand.
None of this means that the Essilor lens you were offered was better than
the other lenses.

Zeiss and Sola/AO have merged. You can find their products at many
independent opticals or OD offices. You might also try Walmart/Sams (I know
they carried Sola at one time). The SOLA FINISHED 1.66 VIZIO ATORIC SINGLE
VISION with UTMC might be a good choice. Hoya also makes very good high
index lenses, come higher than 1.67.

Don't let anyone charge you extra for UV protection. Almost all lenses come
with it automatically. Many high end lenses come with a factory AR coating.
Stay away from cheap no-name AR coatings because your lenses will get
scratched very quickly with these.
