Difference between Varilux and no-line progressive lenses?

Hello everyone! I could sure use some advice. I currently wear no
line progressive lens glasses. I am about to get new glasses though.
I have heard so much about the Varilux and Ellisor lenses. Are they
superior to the regular progressive lenses that I usually get? BTW, I
don't believe they have any special name.

I realize that Varilux seems to cost more. Is the higher cost worth
it? Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to
offer.~Moonchime

 

Esillor sells progressive lenses under its own brand name and under the
Varilux brand name. Varilux is their premium line.

Almost all major lens manufacturers also have premium progressive brands
similar in quality to Varilux. This does not include store brand lenses that
you will find in a chain store, which are usually not premium lens designs.
Major manufacturers include Hoya, Sola, Rodenstock, Zeiss, Seiko, Pentax,
etc.

The right lens design and lens material (most progressives come in a choice
of several different lens materials/indexes) for you may depend on your
exact Rx. Making sure that you get a proper fitting is extremely important
in a progressive lens.

 

I have no clue but most every manufacturing process has
some variance producing defects to varying degrees. Often
product not meeting the highest tolerances but still acceptable
is sold under a different brand name or product name and
at a lower price point. That would be my guess?
