For your Rx (previously posted) with a regular metal frame, 1.50 plastic
(CR-39) is fine. If you want a thinner and lighter lens from Varilux, I
would go with the 1.60 plastic, which is optically much better than the 1.59
polycarb.

Looking at the Varilux web site, it appears that Physio 360 is a finished
lens with Crizal Alize AR coating included, whereas regular Physio is
available in traditional unfinished lens which is custom finished at a local
lab. But I cannot guarantee that this is the only difference.

Could someone please explain the difference between the Physio and
Physio360. I've been to
Varilux.Com, but they are far from clear on the target market of
either product.

I know the following question has been asked and answered in many
posts, but I am getting ready to
make a purchase and just want to be sure (the retailers tell me the
opposite of what I read here)...

For a light prescription using a Varilux lens and a regular metal
frame, I am better off getting
a standard plastic lens as opposed to a polycarb lens... is that
generally correct?

Thanks

Tom
