The patient will notice it.Originally Posted by Dd
Assuming you start a patient on PALs first time he get reading glasses with a low add.............he will most probably not notice anything, get used to it without a problem. After a couple of years he will get another pair and will have no problem as the reading addition increases along with the distortion. This is all psychological effect.
Assuming you start somebody on a progressive at a 1.75 addition he will immediately notice a doorframe being round when lookiong straight forward. He will see everything distorted through the periphery of the lens. Some of these people when making a special effort can get used to it and some will not.
Specially a myope is usually a very picky personality that has a good near vision without glasses. Therefore they are very often disturbed when seing objects distorted when looking through the periphery of the lens. :(
