The frame on my four year old Rodenstock Progressiv glasses recently
busted. My backup was pretty poor so I scurried to get a new
prescription and eyeglasses as soon as I could. I ended up going to
Eyemasters because their turnaround time is so quick. My prescription
only changed with the add (1.25 to 1.75).

Anyway I ended up with the Essilor Ovation Polys. Initially I wanted
the Varilux but they don't stock them, so I went with what is
considered by many, the 'second string' lens. The great thing about
these glasses is that the peripheral vision far surpasses the
Rodenstock.
The bad thing is that the straight ahead view is not
quite as sharp

That's related to Rx, lens design, and lens position, if the object in your
straight ahead view is 20+ feet away. I'd get that resolved to your satisfaction
asap.

Could this have anything to do with the material being polycarbonate
which many seem to feel is optically inferior to plastic or just about
anything else?
