Polycarbonate has the worst optical properties of any commercially available
lens that is commonly dispensed. It is especially troublesome with
peripheral vision on aspheric lens designs and progressives. You did not
state exactly which Essilor lens design you were given, but I am assuming
that it was probably aspheric with your Rx.

Essilor 1.60 plastic is much less prone to chromatic aberration and
peripheral blurring than polycarbonate. The Crizal Alize AR is coating is
generally well regarded as durable and easy to clean (compared to other AR
coatings).

Hoya single vision lenses are available in a standard Hi-lux spheric, or an
improved Nulux aspheric which results in less deformation in the periphery
of the lens. I am not sure how this relates to "Supervision" but if it is
the same as Nulux, then it might be better than the standard Essilor
aspheric design. Ask your optician about what Supervision means, or contact
hoyavisioncare@hoyavision.com for more information.

The Hoya Eyas 1.6 has very good abbe value of 41 compared to Essilor 1.60
index which is 36 (the higher the abbe value the lower the chromatic
aberration which can affect peripheral vision). Polycarb has an abbe value
of 30 (not acceptable in my opinion).

If you think you need a lens with safety properties (high impact resistance
and tensile strength) of polycarbonate, but with excellent optical
properties (abbe value 43), I would highly recommend the Hoya Phoenix
(Trivex) lens material. At 1.53 index, Trivex is not as quite thin as 1.6 so
there may be cosmetic concerns relating to edge thickness if that is a big
issue with you.

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!
