1.6 High Index Help!!!!!

I recently purchased a pair of glasses at Walmart....They were the
polycarbonate with their standard ar coating.The vision was great
looking straight ahead,however,the peripheral vision was terrible &
ultimately I ended up returning them.I am now in the process of trying
another pair through my optometrist who is suggesting Essilor 1.6
lenses w/Crizal Alize......With what little I do know about lenses,this
doesn't sound like the best option for me (O.D. -4.75 -0.75 145)
(O.S. -5.00 -0.50 20). I thought either Hoya Eyas 1.6 W/Superhivision
AR or AO XT16 1.6 W/Teflon AR would be a better match for me(both
finished versions).....I am torn between the two...it seems like the
Hoya AR coating is better than the Teflon but the AO XT16 seems like a
better lens. I am very picky about clear sharp vision & cannot tolerate
much in the way of distortion ie "fun house effect" I get dizzy &
disoriented if the appearance is not flat & natural looking. Any
thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Ricky
