I'm getting a pair of progressives. I have a high reading
prescription
+3.50 and am quite astigmatic.

My optician recommends Seiko Succeed and the coating that
comes with those.

Opinions?

BTW, I've had Zeiss lenses for my progressive computer
glasses and for my reading glasses and they worked pretty
well. But getting the reading that high in a progressive
apparently ruled out using the Zeiss.

TIA

Louise

It's hard to understand why you need +3.50 add.

If you really must hold your work 11 inches from your eye, for magnification
or occupational reasons, there are better options than progressives.

Nobody should expect great performance from a +350 progressive, no matter
which brand.

Seiko Succeed is a good lens and good AR coat.

The Zeiss Individual 1.60 index goes up to +3.5 add, but the 1.67 only goes
to +3.00.
