Well, he has had photochromic for many years but, it also turns out (i found out yesterday afternoon) he has had Trans Brown in the past and these are Gray. His former lenses were also 1.60...

That would be the clearest. After all...now that he doesn't need glasses for distance, he has that to compare things too...no doubt, he dealt with the slight tint before because he didn't know any...

Yes, seg height, rx all check out fine. He has his old glasses which I think are Poly and he compares the new ones to those and takes pictures to show me the tint difference in different parts of...

Do others agree...that LifeRX in Poly will in fact be clearer indoors?

My (essilor) lab told me that they would be darker indoors but maybe that's because they don't want me buying...

Is there a lens that would be clearer indoors than the current CR-39 Transitions Signature Gray that the patient is wearing?

Another Brand?

Different Material?

He's (65yo male, slight myope...

Yes, the one with the Green Sensors and the pendulum. I will continue to use it but remain skeptical and will continue to verify some of my measurements manually to check for consistency. ...

Have you used the Optikam?

I've begun using the Optikam here...I'm not feeling like I can trust it yet though. Even so far as a PD...there are times where I'll get say...34/31 with the Optikam and when I lay that out on the...

The lab is offering me a pair of lenses to try and at my -4.50 -1.25 x180 OU RX, Trexa/Trivex is not available...I'm not crazy about high index lenses generally so, I was considering the 1.55 as it...

Yep...all is well. Followed up with her again recently and all is well.

Well, the lenses were in fact redone...this time with Plano in the Distance and a 2.50 add...same coating. Have touched base with the patient and she reports that All is Well. So...it would appear,...

I'll bring it to the Doc's attention. Thanks much. -Chris

Appreciate all the responses...I don't think it's the markings...at any rate, we're moving forward with having the lenses remade...this time, no RX in the distance either...she absolutely hated the...

I'll double-check for crazing...I haven't been able to detect any flaw in the lens to my eye...but, I'm not looking through them the way she is.

I do not see any defect in the lens. The patient is seeing a dark shadow/fingerprint in her vision...in the left lens up to the left.

-Chris

So the patient is stating that she is seeing what she describes as a dark shadow, like a fingerprint in one of her progressive lenses...up to the left, in the left lens. She's worn progressives...

I see there is a Sheedy Report from 2006...is there some kind of newer version of this report or one someone else did that may be of assistance in picking a lens?

Tip for resolving the slipping temple tip? You know, the one where if you take hold of the tip, it will move an eighth inch or so back and forth. I can adjust the curve to eventually take out the...

She does wish to multi-task with her glasses on such as reading/tv.

Correction...she's 53, not 49. But still, yes, that does seem a bit much still.

Anyone see a problem with this scenario? She's 49, OD: -2.00 -0.50 078 OS: -1.50 -0.75 088 Add 2.50...first time progressive wearer, Comfort 2 Enhanced CR-39. She's wanting a short corridor lens...

We've had 2 patients I can recall in the last year that were having troubles with the reading areas of their progressives (Varilux Comfort 2) and everything measured correctly...good fit, good...

With the current Comfort 2, she can see about 2/3 - 3/4 of the page from top to bottom.

Patient is currently wearing the New Comfort 2 with RX of OD +3.75 sph OS +3.75 -1.00 x180 in CR-39 with a 'B' Measurement of 34mm and a Seg Height of 21mm in a Semi-Rimless frame. She is having...

Franklin Seg is what we used...Ain't pretty but the patient didn't mind the look and she loved the vision. Follow-ups with her confirm that all is still going well.
