If they dont want any intermediate (or very little)

:finger: and Addition should not more than 1.75 'cos young presbyos still
have some accomodation for intermediate

looking for Multigressiv ILT Xs corridor 13 that is good !! 'cos they still have intermediate and can fit on small frame

I have change a lot of people from a longer corridor into a short using mostly the Ellipse.

Keeping in mind that there’s very little intermediate so the reading will come up quickly I also fit about 1mm lower than normal

Short Corridor Pal Vs Pal

I really think the short corridors are getting a bad rap. I have a pair in the Essilor Ovation short-corridor (poly) with a 16mm seg. and I love them! I also have a pair of regular poly ovation transitions 17 mm seg. and I have no problem switching back and forth. But most of the time I wear B&L soflens mutifocal in a modified mono-vision. At my age you have to be flexible if you want to see and be fashionable.

I use it quite a bit

I use the ellipse quite a bit and I haven't had one person come back. I just make sure that they understand that thet will have a shorter corridor. If they don't think they can adapt they will need a larger frame or computer glasses. I am so tired of seeing people coming in and complaining that they can't read properly with their progressives. Wherever they got their last glasses gave them 15mm when they needed 19mm for a particular lens.

SolaOne vs Ellipse

SolaOne to Ellipse = no
SolaOne to Rodenstock Impression ILT XS = yes , but not total better performance.

Hello Sharon,
I am a licensed dispensing optician. I am very interested in where you found this so called short corridor ovation? I have been in the optical field for over a decade. I have never heard of a short corridor ovation. According to my own personal knowledge and thelensguru.com, an ovation has a minimum fitting height of 17mm and is available in cr-39, poly, transitions poly and 1.67. The lens is not reffered to as a short corridor. I have heard this mysterious lens mentioned by a couple people (costco) over the last couple of days and have become very interested. I do know that essilor manufactures a lens called the small fit. Thanks!
