    Need advise on monocular patient

    Hello,

    I refracted 56 yrs old monocular patient this afternoon.

    Her prescription is:

    R: Plano/-1.00DC X 080 ADD 2.50DS

    L: Plano(Artificial Eye).

    She requested progressive powered lenses with MAR. I took her order. Mono Pd 30mm, she selected metal frame, vertical height 32mm.

    Now the problem:

    Other ECP in my office advised me against prescribing PPL because she is one-eyed customer. He advised me to prescribe her round seg or flat-top bifocal instead. I don’t see any problem with her having progressives. I talked with lab tech and he puts “let’s give try”.

    What would you fit her with? Please advise.
    Best regards,
    Optom
