But I want to be more picky about the actual lenses I'll be buying.

The current sent of lenses are one of the varilux types of progressive lenses. Prior to them I had single vision lenses.

I had a terrible time adjusting to the progressives, still haven't not really. The lateral field of view was too narrow forcing me to turn my head. Which then causes a swimming that makes me, well not quite sick, but only because I now walk around staring at the floor ten feet in front of me.

I recently tried on my old pair of single vision lenses. Man o man do they now seem really awful. Worse than the progressive lenses I now wear, hated, and still dislike.

So I want to be more picky about the lenses I buy this time.

Anyone here have comparitive experience with lenses other than single vision and narrow FOV progressive style lenses? Or with lenses made by a specific manufacturers?
